Tax Obstacles in the Internal Market
On 13 February 2024, from 15:00 to 16:15, the FISC Subcommittee will host a public hearing on “Tackling Tax Obstacles in the Internal Market and the Role of Tax Policies in Promoting Economic Growth”. Experts will present their views and discuss with FISC Members on how to address remaining tax-related obstacles and distortions in the Single Market.
The co-existence of 27 different national tax systems in the European Union brings about significant obstacles to cross-border business activity and cross-border workers in the European Single Market. Following up on a study on the topic, the hearing will be an opportunity to discuss the removal of taxation-based obstacles and distortions in the Single Market in order to encourage cross-border investment and activities.
Mr Enrico Letta, President of the Jacques Delors Institute, mandated by the EU Council to prepare a high-level report on the future of the EU's internal market and to present it at the 20-21 March 2024 European Summit, will participate in the hearing to comment on tax-related aspects of his work on this report.
