Conference organised by FEPS, S&D, ETUI, FES & TASC to discuss problems and policy solutions
The Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) and the S&D Group in the European Parliament, in cooperation with the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI), the Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES) and the Think-tank for Action on Social Change (TASC), co-organized an all-day conference on 9 April 2018 to discuss problems and policy solutions in this area. In a set of keynote speeches and workshops, experts and actors from academia, trade unions, civil society and government will address current proposals to deal these problems and help developed a progressive agenda on European taxation reform.
Lux Leaks, the Panama Papers and most recently the Paradise Papers have dramatized the need for a radical reform of the corporate taxation in Europe. Tax havens, letterbox companies, transfer pricing, digital sales and a cross-national race to the bottom in corporate tax rates and enforcement are practices which have increased the disparity between the way workers and corporations are taxed and reduced the resources available to public budgets.
We must update our framework, which is outdated. Changes in regulation and enforcement are needed to reduce unfairness and increase the efficiency of the current system of corporate taxation. Some important changes can be introduced at national level, but we need more and more international intervention. In this sense, the EU has a main role to play.

We need solutions for tax evasion but also for tax avoidance and unfair tax competition, which happens even inside the EU. Taxes must be paid where profits are made!
#TaxJustice is a fundamental topic. We need the means to invest in the #FutureOfEurope Thanks to this event, we could identify many new ideas that we will bring to the policy making pipeline.
