Conference on European Company Tax Policy

27 March 2002



-
The European Commission will host a European Conference on 29 and 30 April in Brussels in order to stimulate a broad and detailed debate on future company taxation policy in the EU.

This one and a half day Conference will offer high-level representatives from EU Member States and candidate countries, business leaders, economic operators, senior tax professionals, social partners and academics the opportunity to discuss the merits of the various comprehensive approaches and their components, proposed in the Communication.

The sessions should consider and clarify questions such as which form of consolidated tax base would be preferable for EU companies, whether application in Member States should be optional or binding, how the desired common corporate base could be achieved, whether a 'core common base' would be sufficient, whether 'formula apportionment' constitutes a way forward for the EU, and many others.

The outcome of the Conference will assist the Commission in determining the best way forward with the project.
