I wasn't trying to say that there is no cost, I was pointing out that the cost is not large enough to affect the ranking on this index. With an index composed of many different factors, you can always focus on one aspect that is particularly positive or negative, but that doesn't mean the overall ranking is wrong just because it also takes other factors into account. The EIU gives Germany an overall score of 8.35. How much higher should it be if the exit tax were abolished? How much higher if it's not abolished, but deferred until the capital gains are realized?
