Download or read book The Politics of Corporate Taxation in the European Union written by Claudio Radaelli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the formation of the European Union's tax policy and asks why member states did not raise objections to it. The author's analysis is enriched by two further levels of inquiry. Firstly, he examines the 'Europeanization' of domestic tax policy in Italy and the UK, asking how domestic policy has changed and what is meant by 'Europeanization'. Secondly, he puts the European Union tax policy in the wider context of tax globalization. Will the liberalization of capital movement, tax havens and the flexibility of multinationals in managing their taxable incomes wreck the European Union's fragile tax policies?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper aims to contribute to the European policy debate on corporate income tax reform in three ways. First, it takes a step back to review the performance of the CIT in Europe over the past several decades and the important role played by MNEs in European economies. Second, it analyses corporate tax spillovers in Europe with a focus on the channels and magnitudes of both profit shifting and CIT competition. Third, the paper examines the progress made in European CIT coordination and discusses reforms to strengthen the harmonization of corporate tax policies, in order to effectively reduce both tax competition and profit shifting.

Download or read book Tax Harmonization in the Function of Promotion of the European Common Market written by Bedri Peci and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the measures taken for European economic integration is tax harmonization. Final goal of tax harmonization has been and yet remains the economic efficiency and in particular the promotion of the common market. Tax harmonization in the EU member states is not new. Harmonization of indirect taxes, and in particular the harmonization of turnover tax, was present within the project of European integration since the outset so that a certain minimum of harmonization was created as the VAT Common System. Progress has also been achieved in the harmonisation of excise duty rates and excise structures. While progress has been achieved regarding indirect taxes, the harmonization of direct taxes did not evolved properly and the taxation of income and profits is still being applied in national states, despite many proposals seeking appropriate harmonization. The current European Community Law has no effect on the tax rates on corporate income applicable to European Union member States. In the area of corporate income tax the harmonization of some issues relating to tax treatment of dividend payments between companies and their status changes has been made. All Balkan countries aspire for EU membership by making the transposition of EU rules. These countries have managed to harmonize in a fairly large extent their tax systems with the acquis communautaire. Closer perspectives in these states are the harmonization of customs tax policies. Harmonization of tax legislations with EU requirements would take more time than the initial steps that have been taken for the liberalization of trade. Harmonization of legislation should be accompanied by a genuine reform of public administration in the Balkan countries, as implementation of legislation is much more complex task than its drafting. Kosovo as well as other Balkan countries constantly has reformed its system by reducing tax rates, redefined the tax base and making amendments and clarification of the interpretation of existing laws. Even though Kosovo has a simple legislation much more should be done in order to address the legal gaps, tax harmonization with the EU and the regulation of international tax relations. Administrative capacity to implement European standards and the law in the field of free movement of goods is still inadequate. Considerable efforts should be made further in this regard.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper proposes an analysis of two major tax events which occurred in the European Union in 2001, the move of Germany from imputation to exemption and the objective announced by the EU Commission to provide EU businesses with a consolidated corporate tax base for their EU-wide activities.

Download or read book The European Union s Corporate Income Tax Policy written by Pernille Stordrange and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2012-05-29 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: A, BI Norwegian Business School (Public governance), course: EU Policy Process, language: English, abstract: In this paper I chronologically go through the policy process towards a harmonised corporate income tax in the EU member states. By using Jenkins-Smith and Sabatier's advocacy coalition framework (ACF) I evaluate how events internal and external to the EU, as well as policy-oriented learning have brought the process forward and caused policy change. I also explain how the lack of favourable conditions has caused stalemate and lack of progress. I find that changing socio-economic conditions have facilitated and hampered the policy process and that macroeconomic conditions have affected member states willingness to implement coordinating measures. Other determinants of change are internal developments in the EU such as enlargements, ECJ jurisprudence or change in political leadership. Over the time period under study, the European Commission, as the agenda-setter in the EU has learned from previous failures and new scientific information and altered its strategy along the way. Member states have also over time changed their view on the EU in general and corporate income tax harmonisation in particular. The outcome of the EC's efforts over the years has been varying, and the policy process has proceeded in fits and starts. So far, the EC has achieved some degree of coordination, but not harmonisation of corporate income tax systems. What the future brings depends on the variables discussed throughout the paper.

Book excerpt: Subsidiarity in the European Union, as the guiding principle of decision-making "close to the people", is often motivated and discussed from a predominantly political perspective.

Insights from economic theory and empirical research are used both to analyse the assignment of policies between the EU and its member states and to identify appropriate levels of decision-making.

Harmonization of corporate ta×ation is not only a legislative e×ercise; other institutions, such as the EC Court, have an important role to play in the harmonization process, as the US federal e×perience suggests.
