Press Release: Parliament calls for corporate tax makeover

The European Parliament approved in plenary on 25 November 2015 a resolution setting out its ideas on how to make corporate taxes fairer across the European Union.

Members of the chamber urged member states to agree on mandatory country-by-country reporting by multinationals of profits and taxes, a common consolidated corporate tax base, common definitions for tax terms and more transparency and accountability with regard to their national tax 'rulings' for companies.
