Abstract

Die Europäische Kommission hat kürzlich eine Reihe von Vorschlägen zur umfassenden Koordination der Unternehmensbesteuerung im europäischen Binnenmarkt vorgelegt. Der vorliegende Beitrag analysiert diese Vorschläge und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass sie keine überzeugende Grundlage für die künftige Gestaltung der Unternehmensbesteuerung in Europa darstellen. Bei einer Umsetzung der Reformvorschläge wären teils erhebliche negative Nebenwirkungen zu erwarten, während signifikante Vorteile kaum erkennbar sind. Koordination in Form von Einzelmaßnahmen zur gezielten Beseitigung steuerlicher Hindernisse für grenzüberschreitende Investitionen in Europa verspricht mehr Erfolg.
