EU direct tax policy updates - Autumn 2025

As Europe’s economic and political landscape continues to shift, so too do the priorities shaping its direct tax framework. In this edition, Sasha Kerins, International Tax Partner at Grant Thornton Ireland, joins Monique Pisters, Head of Tax at Grant Thornton Netherlands, for a timely discussion on the evolving EU tax agenda.

Together, they explore the implications of the recent G7 and US announcements on Pillar Two, the EU’s decision to pause progress on the Unshell Directive (ATAD 3), and the growing momentum behind the decluttering agenda—an initiative aimed at simplifying and streamlining the EU’s tax rulebook.
