Why to Fight for Low Flat Tax Systems in Europe?
Effects of low taxes to stimulate growth and increase of revenues are evident
But: In many countries the Euro and Financial crisis are
misused to demand an increase of taxrates or to introduce new taxes (wealth tax, inheritance tax, FTT,…)
European Commission proposes harmonization of direct taxes (PIT, CIT, CCCTB,…)
