This book was released on 2012 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The report is prepared jointly by DG ECFIN and DG TAXUD of the European Commission. As the previous editions, the report analyses recent trends in tax revenues and tax reforms in EU Member States. A particular focus of this year's edition is the analysis of the EU VAT system and tax policy challenges faced by EU Member States. The report examines the economic and policy implications of the EU VAT system, of which it provides an overview of the history and possible future. It analyses welfare gains and economic benefits from simplifying VAT procedures and reviews options to reduce VAT fraud and evasion. Applying an indicator based approach, the report identifies horizontal challenges that EU Member States are currently facing in the area of tax policy. These relate to (i) fiscal consolidation on the revenue side and growth-friendly tax structures, (ii) broadness of tax bases in both direct and indirect taxation, with a particular focus on corporate tax expenditure, (iii) the need to improve tax governance and (iv) specific tax issues, namely housing taxation, environmental taxation and some redistributive aspects of taxation." -- EU Bookshop.

Download or read book Effective Tax Burden in Europe written by Otto H. Jacobs and published by Physica. This book was released on 2002-02-26 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarises the results of a study on behalf of the European Commission. It presents estimates of effective average tax rates (EATR) in five EU Member States plus the USA. The main aim is to compare EATR on domestic investments by companies. A secondary aim is to work out the impact of the different tax drivers on the tax burden. The comparison is made in six stages: - Comparison of the EATR for a base case - Effects of alternative assumptions on the economic data - Comparative effects of the German tax reform from 1 January 2001 - Consequences of the most important tax reforms since 1995 - Effects of hypothetical tax reforms - Comparison with results obtained from other studies.
Download or read book Company Tax Reform in the European Union written by Joann Martens-Weiner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-14 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having spent almost fifty years of my life defending the separate accou- ing, arm's length pricing method, I have to admit that I was somewhat surprised to be asked to contribute to a book suggesting that the European Union might do well to consider adopting a formulary approach to deal with the taxation of inter and intra company transactions. I was even more surprised to see the invitation coming from Ms. Joann Weiner an ardent co-defender of arm's length pricing and my strong right arm in that regard while we both served in the U.S. Treasury Department in the mid '90s. The book gives Ms Weiner the opportunity to comment frankly from an insider's perspective of the many admitted problems of the arm's length system which could be avoided by a formulary approach. Ms. Weiner brings to this project a thorough expert knowledge of the b- efits and shortfalls of each of the systems she discusses - separate accounting v. formulary apportionment. Who better to decide to give qualified support to formulary than someone who organized a U.S. Treasury conference to defend arm's length pricing against a Congressional challenge in favor of formulary apportionment.

Download or read book Tax Reforms in EU Member States written by Comisión Europea. Dirección General de Asuntos Económicos y Financieros and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report has several purposes. First, it identifies how tax revenues in EU Member States have been evolving, as a result of past reforms and other factors, such as the business cycle or the slowdown in potential growth. Second, it takes stock of tax reforms that have been implemented in the Member States. Third, it reviews various policy issues relevant for future reforms, which are presently considered in the policy debate, such as broadening the tax base of certain taxes and thus increasing revenue or reducing harmful high tax rates. Other topical issues are shifting taxation away from labour towards revenue sources both more innovative and less detrimental to growth and improving the efficiency of tax collection and tackling tax evasion.
Download or read book Taxation Trends in the European Union written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2014 edition of Taxation Trends in the European Union is the eighth issue of the report in its current form. The objective of the report remains unchanged: to present a complete view of the structure, level and trends of taxation in the Union over a medium- to long-term period. Taxation is at the heart of citizens' relationship with the State. It is not only government experts and academics, but also many citizens that ask the European Commission questions about tax levels in the EU and on how Member States compare with each other; this report, published annually, is one way of answering them. Much work has gone into making sure that the data it contains are accurate and comparable across countries. The methodology to ensure this was developed jointly by statisticians from Eurostat and economists from the Directorate-General for Taxation and the Customs Union, who have drafted the report. In addition, experts from national Statistical Offices and from the Ministries of Finance of all countries covered have actively contributed by supplying data and comments; we would like to express our thanks for their valuable suggestions and help. The report provides data and analysis for the European Semester, as the proper functioning of tax systems is a key prerequisite for economic growth. The data on the tax burden in the various Member States can thus be used as an input for the formulation of the Country-Specific Recommendations on tax reforms that are announced at the end of the European Semester. In addition to the analysis of Europe-wide trends in Part I, the report also includes a Part II with Country Chapters, covering each EU Member State plus Iceland and Norway. The Country Chapters contain a discussion of tax revenue trends, as well as a description of the main characteristics of each country's tax system. -- EU Bookshop.

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 Green Budget Reform in Europe written by Kai Schlegelmilch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Budgets have a big influence on the economy and society. With many countries, about 50 percent of total expenditures and income pass through the budget via taxes, charges and expenditures. In recent years many countries, e. g. in the OECD and the EU, have tended to use this influence in an environmentally rational way. Tradi tional environmental policy has relied on command-and-control and cnd-olpipc technologies that have proven to be insufficient in coping with the challenge of glo bal change. Hence, many countries have started to investigate the environmental impacts of their budgets by looking at existing taxes and charges, as well as tax allowances and exemptions and other relevant regulations and expenditures -even to have a special impact on the environment. The implementation of those not meant such findings is now broadly discussed in these countries. This publication will contribute to the debate. It is a result of a wider project called Green Budget Reform -Prospects in Central and Eastern Europe. initiated by Vida Ogorelec Wagner, managing Director of Umanotera, The Sloven ian Founda tion for Sustainable Development, and then jointly developed. proposed to the EC and carried out in partnership with Kai Schlegelmich of the Wuppertal Institute in Germany. The project comprised an international seminar on Green Budget Reform in April 1997 at Lake Bled, Slovenia, and the Case Study of Sloveilla.
