09/07/26 (Agence Europe) – The European Parliament adopted on Thursday 9 July, by 366 votes in favour, 192 against and 39 abstentions, an own-initiative report covering the tax component of the proposed regulation on the 28th regime for companies. It identifies avenues for a future tax module, while the proposal currently on the table concerns only the tax component of employee incentive schemes for these innovative companies. These include, among other things, a common consolidated corporate income tax base, standardised tax returns and simplified VAT procedures. The report also stresses the need to put in place measures to ensure that the regime does not become a tool for tax evasion, tax competition or abusive tax optimisation. It proposes that access to the 28th regime should be reserved for companies carrying out a genuine economic activity in the EU. It also wants to strengthen the attractiveness of the regime for innovative companies through coordinated tax incentives for R&D. More information: https://aeur.eu/f/mt1 (SP)
