"Mr President, I oppose the proposal to make the consolidated corporate tax base compulsory for all companies. This would violate the principle of subsidiarity, triggering an adverse impact for some national economies, including Bulgaria, which depends on its competitive advantage to attract investors based on simplified tax rules and low tax rates.
Of course, the idea for a consolidated tax base as a measure to complete the single market, which will facilitate the development of international business, reduce the administrative burden and save the time and money needed to learn 27 different tax systems, is understandable. I believe, however, that this scheme must remain voluntary because it leaves the decision of whether to join it or not in the hands of corporate taxpayers.
The best way for us to judge whether the system is successful beyond the theoretical considerations I listed would be if the voluntary principle is embraced by business. The compulsory nature of this regulation risks killing off competition."@en1
