What Future for Taxation in the EU?

The EUROFRAME group of research institutes (CASE, CPB, DIW, ESRI, ETLA, IfW, NIESR, OFCE, PROMETEIA, WIFO) will hold its eleventh annual Conference on Economic Policy Issues in the European Union.

The aim of the conference is to provide an economic forum for debate on economic policy issues relevant in the European context.

 

The Conference will focus on taxation issues in the EU, which are at the heart of policy debates seven years after the beginning of the financial and economic crisis.

 – What are the main tax policy challenges Europe faces today, in terms of economic growth and employment, fairness, ecological as well as fiscal sustainability?

– What targets for financial sector taxation, financial transaction tax, environmental taxation?

– Do we need an EU tax policy (harmonisation, coordination, rules of the game for fair competition, transfer pricing and profit shifting, how to combat tax evasion and tax havens)?

– Do we need European taxes (corporate income taxation, carbon tax,…)?

– What about European taxation to fund the EU budget?

– How can tax systems contribute to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, and how can they foster socioecological transition in Europe?
