Abstract: Abstract Economies in the process of transition from centrally planned to market-oriented all suffer heavily from a lack of real capital — concerning both fixed assets in business and human capital in the labour force. The success of the transformation process crucially depends on overcoming this deficiency. In order to maximize the prospects for increasing real capital, one has to focus on the main sources of capital from domestic investment and to attract capital from the developed Western countries. To this end, the tax system has to exhibit the following important properties: it has to guarantee that the cost of capital is protected from being taxed and it has to be attractive from a foreign investor’s point of view.
