The European Commission (EC) are committed to introducing a common corporate income tax system across the EU. The previous iterations - the Common (Consolidated) Corporate Tax base (CCCTB) 2011 and Common Corporate Tax Base (CCTB) are now withdrawn and replaced with the BEFIT Proposal. It remains to be seen if BEFIT will achieve the unanimous support required from Member States.
