On 26 July the Commission, on the initiative of Mrs Christiane Scrivener, the Member with special responsibility for taxation, customs and consumer policy, proposed1 two amendments to the 1990 Directives abolishing certain instances of double taxation of companies. The aim is to enable a larger number of companies to benefit from the abolition of the main forms of double taxation of cross-border flows in the Community and thus to reap real gains from the single market.

Mrs Scrivener concluded that "if businesses are still convinced that the measures proposed in the Directive are useful, they should lobby the appropriate authorities to get matters moving again at Community level with a view to establishing a modern tax system, i.e. a system without any double taxation of income from cross-border trade that was tailored to the inescapable constraint of global competitiveness. The Commission intends to consult all those concerned before taking, as a matter of urgency, whatever new measures are necessary to put an end to the double taxation of corporate earnings".

The Commission is convinced that a fully functioning Single Market requires: * in VAT, a system which is much simpler, more objective and more modern and which, applying the tax according to the origin principle, will treat intra-Community transactions as equivalent to domestic ones; * on excise duties, progress in approximating excise duty rates where this is justified by the freedom of movement for goods and the joint implementation of other Community policies in accordance with the consultation process introduced for these product categories; * in the personal tax area, non-discriminatory treatment of frontier workers and other non-resident taxpayers, the ending of double ...[+++] taxation and the elimination of tax disadvantages linked to cross-border financial transactions (insurance premiums, pensions, mortgage interest payments, etc.); * with regard to tax on cross-border income flows, reducing the discriminatory treatment of subsidiaries established in other Member States, abolishing double taxation on interest and royalty payments, and permitting parent companies to take into account the losses of subsidiaries in other Member States, while avoiding the risk for Member States of revenue losses. c. Promoting employment and completing EMU The need for action in the taxation field to promote employment, indicated by the White Paper on Growth, Competitiveness and Employment, has been restated by a number of European Councils.
