If adopted as a new own resource of the EU budget the financial transaction tax (FTT) would significantly reduce the contributions of Member States to the EU budget. According to estimates presented on the 22 March 2012 by the European Commission, Member States' contributions would be slashed by €54bn in 2020. The suggestion was seen by commentators as a last-ditch attempt to undermine certain EU Member State opposition to both the specific European Commission FTT proposals and the general idea of the EU raising its own taxes. |
