Commission kicks off #FairTaxationRoadshow
The European Commission has launched a series of seminars on fair taxation in the EU, with a first event in Riga, Latvia. The seminar brought together civil society, business representatives, policy makers, academics and interested citizens to discuss and exchange views on the problem of tax avoidance and tax evasion.
Further events are planned throughout 2018 in Austria (May), France (June), Italy (September) and Ireland (October) and build on last year's successful seminars, where around 150 civil society organizations came to Brussels for wide-ranging discussion on fair taxation issues. The roadshow is intended further to encourage active engagement on tax fairness principles at EU, national and local level.
Fair taxation is a top political priority for the Commission, which has pursued a very active and successful agenda in this field in recent years. Thanks to several major legislative packages from the Commission, important progress has been made at EU level to tackle tax abuse, increase tax transparency and restore the level playing field for all businesses. Among the most recent proposals, still to be agreed by member states, were solutions for the fair and effective taxation of the digital economy, a fundamental reform of corporate taxation through the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base and an overhaul of the EU's outdated VAT system.
Further information on the Fair Taxation events is available on the DG TAXUD website.
