    On Thursday 16 April 2026, the FISC Subcommittee will discuss the draft report on the "feasibility of a 28th tax regime and its potential to support EU competitiveness", which will be presented by the rapporteur L'udovít Ódor (Renew).

    This own-initiative report focuses on taxation aspects that could be included in the recently published Commission proposal for a 28th regime corporate legal framework - 'EU INC.' The ECON/FISC draft report addresses primarily the taxation of employee stock options, a common corporate tax base, coordinated tax incentives for R&D and reinvestment, as well as withholding tax exemptions for dividends, interest, and royalties between participating entities and their associated investment vehicles. It further calls for a layered, modular and pilot-based approach of the regime with corporate law in the forefront.

  3. Highlights - Consderations of amendments on "Coherent tax framework for the EU's financial sector" - Subcommittee on Tax Matters

    FISC INI Report on
    On Tuesday 16 April 2026, the FISC Subcommittee will discuss the amendments tabled to the draft report on a coherent tax framework for the EU's financial sector. The draft, which will was prepared by the rapporteur Matthias Ecke (S&D), addresses the fragmentation of the financial sector in the EU and calls for a fair contribution of the sector.

    One of the major challenges faced by the financial sector in the EU is that financial services are exempted from Value-Added Tax (VAT). This has resulted in a substantial VAT policy gap and a highly fragmented landscape of 91 sector-specific taxes across Member States to mitigate the revenue losses. The draft report notes how addressing the fragmentation could increase the financial sector's competitiveness. Moreover, it recalls the continuous support of the Parliament for an EU-wide Financial Transaction Tax (FTT), which could serve as the basis of an own resource to the EU budget. Against the background of the recent announcement by the Commission in its Work Programme 2026 to withdraw its 2013 FTT proposal, the rapporteur urges the Commission to ensure that the financial sector makes a fair contribution.

    A total of 224 amendments were tabled to the draft report, which will serve as a basis for the negotiations on compromise amendments. The vote in ECON is planned on 5 May 2026.
