The European Commission has launched an online public consultation to ask individuals, companies and tax advisers for information about double taxation problems that they have encountered when operating across borders within the European Union.
The aim is to identify the nature of the problems that EU taxpayers are facing and the extent to which many individuals and companies are encountering the problem of being taxed on the same income or profits in two or more different member states. The consultation concerns all direct taxes.
The commission is also inviting suggestions on how to remedy the double taxation identified.
Individuals, companies and tax advisers are invited to reply to the consultation by 30 June.
