Staying up to date with the European Commission's Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base proposals
The European Commission proposal for a Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB) arguably represents one of the most fundamental changes in corporate taxation attempted within the Union. It is a highly ambitious project which, by offering businesses the possibility of using one single consolidated corporate tax base for all their EU activities and profits, may potentially reduce the administrative costs for companies already operating across Europe, allow the consolidation of profits and losses cross-border and encourage expansion within the internal market.
Such proposals benefit from rigorous testing and consultation, to ensure that the proposals under consideration deliver the objectives and can be adapted as necessary during consultation. In the reports listed below, Ernst & Young has identified the potential impact of the proposals as set out in Working Paper 57, providing a valuable contribution to the policy debate.
As set out below, the final proposed Directive was issued by the Commission on 16 March 2011. As such, the reports below present findings based on the facts as set out in the reports, based on the proposal as currently set out. It should not be considered to be a judgement on the attractiveness of the policy, which is a role for policy advisers. Through identifying the potential impact of proposals, Ernst and Young can assist policy makers in their consideration of policy options.
