OPINIE | Primele semne de relaxare după un deceniu de înăsprire a fiscalității în UE

The European Commission has introduced a tax simplification package aimed at reducing compliance costs for companies, potentially saving around eight billion euros annually. This initiative marks a significant shift in EU tax policy, focusing on eliminating withholding taxes on intra-group payments. The proposal includes legislative changes that would benefit companies across the EU, including Romania, by removing existing conditions for tax exemptions. Additionally, it addresses interest deductibility rules, providing more favorable terms for Romanian taxpayers. However, the proposals require unanimous approval from EU member states, and concerns about fiscal sovereignty and revenue impacts remain.
