The just-passed “fiscal cliff” deal offers a mixed bag for American business owners, as The Washington Post reports. A package of temporary business tax breaks were extended for another year, but business owners who have pass-through income above $400,000 will see a tax rate increase.

The report, which covers 185 economies, shows regional changes in tax rates and regulations between 2004 and 2011.
