EPSU's response to EC public consultation on the relaunch of a common consolidated corporate tax base – CCCTB

(2 February 2016) EPSU’s response to EC public consultation on the relaunch of a common consolidated corporate tax base – CCCTB – presented as a key tool to fight corporate tax avoidance and make companies pay tax where profits and value are generated.

The consultation follows on the EC Action Plan for a fairer and efficient corporate tax system of last June.

In line with its Congress position as well as of the ETUC, EPSU expresses support for a mandatory CCCTB, opposition to proposal to proceed in two steps (leaving consolidation of profits at a later stage), and reiterates the importance of also aligning corporate tax rates (common minimum rate of 25%), see response below.

A proposal is expected for the Autumn taking into account the responses to the Consultation.
