"I welcomed this document because I believe that low taxes are not just essential for the social welfare of families and households, but are also important for the competitiveness of new jobs. However, there is also a need for controlled and efficient public spending and stable public finances. The Commission’s proposals regarding taxation must contribute to European competitiveness by eliminating distortions of competition, which arise from the various taxation systems in place. The Commission and Member States must cooperate further in establishing their respective tax policies against double taxation, tax fraud and tax evasion in order to increase transparency and reduce loopholes and uncertainties for businesses and citizens with regard to tax collection, especially when it comes to their respective administrative procedures for filing tax returns. Member States should look to reduce the tax compliance costs for SMEs, where possible, by streamlining procedures and reducing bureaucratic costs. It is clear that Member States have different corporate tax bases, which may, in practice, function as cross-border trade barriers to growth and employment."@en1
