We are concerned here with the issue of fair tax competition. The EU envisages fair tax competition as a fundamental principle in all matters and interests; it is just that all participants should be on an equal footing. The tax competition should ensue from different tax rates.
What we are concerned with here is the issue of the flat tax
Some of the new Member States have recently introduced a new tax system in which the tax rates for enterprises are far lower than those of the old Member States. Relatively unfairly – because these are all net recipients – this results in tax competition that prompts the question as to whether, in view of the severe reduction in taxes, these countries are really still able to discharge the social transfer responsibilities they share with all Member States: pension and health-insurance systems."@en1
