Building strong foundations for growth: EU Tax Policy for lasting prosperity
The event will start with a presentation of the new Annual Report on Taxation.

How can policy makers address labour and skill shortages that hinder competitiveness? Can the design of taxation contribute to higher employment rates?

How does the EU compare to other advanced economies? What policy lessons can we learn from recent simplification attempts?
