The current tax jungle hinders competitiveness of European industry through high compliance costs, double taxation, and protectionist regulations.On the other hand, a more harmonised tax system should improve fairness, efficiency, simplicity and transparency for operators.
The EU Council should set a timetable for EU corporate tax reform in a Corporate Tax Action Plan. The European Company Statute should be adapted to current Directives and an optional corporate tax base should be established. Therefore the European Company Statute provides a unique opportunity to develop a more co-ordinated European corporate tax system.
