FairTax Conference: Options for an EU Tax as an EU Own Resource

The objective of the FairTax Conference on "Options for an EU Tax as an EU own Resource" is to promote the exchange of ideas among researchers working on reform options for the EU system of own resources in general, and for own EU taxes to substitute national contributions by EU member countries in particular: Hereby considering both conventional tax policy criteria, also based on the main propositions of the fiscal federalism literature on the optimal assignment of taxes with a multi-level governance structure, as well as evaluation criteria that capture the four dimensions of sustainability relevant to revenue and tax systems (economic, social, environmental, and cultural sustainability). Contributions will analyse all the aspects connected with possible candidates for an EU tax as an EU own resource to finance the EU budget: potential effects on sustainable development, gender impacts, institutional implications, regional distribution of the tax burden, and budgetary implications.
