Dialogue with the European Commission

ERT encourages the European Commission to improve the competitiveness of the EU fiscal system and work towards the following policy targets:

• Efficient and predictable tax systems
• Easing the administrative burden to front tax charges

This includes a request for a new set of rules on R&D tax incentives, which should be designed for a large scope of innovations (eg. digital technology, artificial intelligence, etc). Such an approach could even be achieved within a Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB) framework as in its current planning state major improvements are needed to make the CCCTB framework for companies wishing to invest in Europe.
