EU business taxation policy has developed in recent years, and continues to evolve, in response to initiatives by the OECD and EU to reform international tax systems, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the current energy and cost of living crises.

The EU seeks to build robust, efficient and fair tax frameworks that sustain economic growth across all Member States, while also providing crucial direct support in times of crises.  At the same time, the EU is committed to its green agenda and digital transition project. The outcome is a raft of EU tax initiatives and tax policy proposals.

  • ATAD 3 – shell entities
  • DAC 7 – digital platform operators and joint audits
