In his latest article, CORIT Academic Advisor Peter Koerver Scmidt deals with the European Commission’s recent proposal to establish a common framework for corporate taxation in the EU in order to achieve a more efficient internal market and reduce administrative costs for groups. The focus is on explaining and discussing essential elements of the proposal, including the scope and the calculation, consolidation, and allocation principles. Peter points out that the proposal (still) contains a number of shortcomings and ambiguities, but also a number of positive elements that could contribute to a better functioning corporate tax regime and bring a number of benefits to the groups covered.
