"This report, drafted by Mr Schmidt, concerns the annual tax report – the first published on this issue by Parliament – and is intended to complement initiatives designed to make the internal market run more smoothly and the European Union more competitive. Tax policy affects everyone and has positive and negative aspects. Obviously, paying taxes is costly to all, but states need revenue to pay for public services such as health care, education, social security, the military, the emergency services, etc. In the current crisis situation, all measures that boost economic growth should be considered. It is therefore crucial to support cross-border mobility and prevent the double taxation of the companies or citizens of one Member State that work in another, whose costs can rise by 50%. Differentiated taxation is an obstacle to mobility, so EU-level tax harmonisation is desirable. I voted for this report, since it makes an important contribution to improving European legislation on taxation, both by preventing double taxation and by combating tax evasion, thereby increasing transparency throughout the process."@en1
