Answer:

<em>Developing countries two major issues, of low incomes and eventually lower tax collections.</em>

Explanation:

Obstacle 1: Developing countries usually have a population with a low income. There are a lot of poor people, very few businesses are documented and there are very few well established larger corporations.
