Abstract
The paper analyses the neutrality of taxation of investment projects on the example of Serbia. The aim of the research is to confirm/reject the existence of uniformity of the tax burden on investment projects that differ regarding the asset type, industry and the source of finance. The uniformity of tax burden, that is, the absence of discrimination and distortive effects of taxation, may be considered a confirmation of the tax neutrality. To investigate neutrality of taxation the analysis employed King-Fullerton framework of calculating effective marginal tax rates. The research results show that the tax treatment of investment projects in Serbia is nondiscriminatory. Marginal effective tax rates for different types of investment projects do not vary widely; that is, there are no investment projects that have a markedly favourable (unfavourable) tax treatment compared to the other types of investment projects.

Since 2006 it has been published exclusively in English. It is published by the Faculty of Economics, University of Belgrade, Serbia. The journal publishes research in all areas of economics. The Editorial Board welcomes contributions that explore economic issues in a comparative perspective with a focus on transition and emerging economies in Europe and around the world. The journal encourages the submission of original unpublished works, not under consideration by other journals or publications. All submitted papers undergo a double blind refereeing process. Authors are expected to follow standard publication procedures [Instructions to Authors], to recognise the values of the international academic community and to respect the journal’s Policy.
