A European common tax space

Taxation is one of the few areas of financial policy which the
general public has great interest in, as it affects their
everyday life directly. But when we talk about it on a European
level, it has much to do with tax distortion and competition in
the single market.

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Bruegel director
Guntram Wolff is joined by Sven Giegold MEP from the European
Green Party. Giegold envisions a European common tax space, where
minimum tax rates will be applied on a European level. They also
discuss tax reporting regulations for large corporations, VAT
reform, and how the Commission, European Financial Intelligence
Unit and potentially a European financial police force can target
money laundering and financial crime.
