EU.

The Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB) is a European Commission proposal (16 March 2011).

CCCTB would be a single set of harmonised rules for calculating taxable profits, to replace the current different, national corporate tax rules in each EU Member State. Companies or qualifying groups of companies operating within the EU would use the proposed rules to calculate their taxable profits and losses, and file a single consolidated tax return for the whole of their EU activity. The calculated taxable profits would be shared among Member States on a formula, perhaps related in certain proportions to turnover, wage bill, number of employees, physical capital and such. Each Member State would then collect tax at its own national rate on its portion of the total profits.

A purpose of the common tax base would be to make tax competition among Member States more transparent.


Critics of harmonisation see base differences as socially useful competition among Member States, allowing States differently to influence behaviour of companies as well as influencing tax revenues. Such critics also tend to value competition on tax rates. The critics view both these factors as encouraging governments to be more efficient.


Supporters of harmonisation see base differences (and often rate differences too) as distortions, encouraging damaging corporate tax arbitrage between competing jurisdictions.

At Autumn 2014, no agreement had been reached on tax base harmonisation.


Supporters of harmonisation continue to argue the case, especially before their domestic electorates. Supporters of harmonisation have also proposed the introduction of a common tax base among a voluntary coalition of willing Member States (enhanced co-operation) if agreement among all Member States is not forthcoming.

For example, French President François Hollande [1] said in 2014 that he wanted "[tax base] harmonisation with our largest neighbours" by 2020.
