"I like many members from smaller member states voted against the CCCTB report, which passed with a large majority (452+). The CCCTB will lay down common rules for the calculation of the tax base applicable to companies operating in the EU. The present proposal will harmonise the calculation and apportionment of the tax base, Member States will retain the power to set the tax rates; however, I am adamant that this report sets a dangerous precedent. Harmonisation of the tax base and the tax base rules is still a form of harmonisation. Worryingly the report refuses to exclude that further steps may be taken towards harmonisation of tax rates. The mere mention of possible harmonisation of tax rates and corporate tax only serves to further aggravate the subsidiary concerns already espoused by Ireland. The Treaty of Lisbon is very clear on this: taxation is sacrosanct and a matter for the Member States alone to decide. I voted against this report and I made a determined effort to encourage other MEPs to do likewise."@en1
