Press Release: Taxation: Reinforcing the Single Market for citizens

On 10 April 2014, the Commission launched two public consultations and created an expert group to gather ideas on how to tackle any tax obstacles that hinder the cross-border activity of individuals in the Single Market. At the same time, the Commission launched new web pages aimed at providing useful tax information to individuals who are active across borders.

The expert group created would bring together stakeholders to look principally at elements of direct taxation that could affect an individual’s cross-border activity in the Single Market. Personal income taxation and inheritance taxation would be particularly focussed on.
