EU Tax Harmonization to Eliminate Unfair Corporate Tax Competition
This paper discusses the need for tax harmonization in the EU to address the negative effects of tax competition in corporate taxation. The researchers analyzed the impact of introducing a common consolidated corporate tax base on tax competition between EU Member States. They found that this measure would eliminate the possibility of granting tax incentives through different tax bases, leading to competition only through tax rates. The study highlights the importance of fiscal coordination in Europe to prevent harmful tax practices and ensure fair competition among countries.
