Republic of Lithuania

Selected Issues

By: International Monetary Fund. European Dept.

This Selected Issues paper examines the reasons behind Lithuania’s low tax-GDP ratio relative to the European Union (EU). At end-2015, Lithuania had nearly the lowest tax-GDP ratio in the EU, along with Bulgaria and Romania. The tax revenue shortfall relative to the EU is for the most part attributable to weak tax administration and tax policy, with the structure of the economy playing a secondary role. The second largest contribution to the tax revenue shortfall relative to the EU comes from social security contributions. The shortfall is driven primarily by the structure of the economy, and to a smaller extent by tax administration.

Towards a financial transaction tax?

29th report of session 2010-12

By: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee

The House of Lords EU Sub-Committee on Financial and Economic Affairs say in its report that the FTT proposed by the European Commission is flawed and will fail to fulfil the Commission's own objectives. The proposals place the City of London under severe threat and are likely to force financial institutions to relocate away from the UK and the EU as a whole. Given the strategic importance of the City of London, such relocation would have a highly damaging impact not only for the UK but on the economic health of the EU as a whole. A proposal that would have such a disproportionate impact on the UK above all other Member States makes the Commission's proposals particularly unacceptable. Whilst the Committee acknowledge the strength of public anger against the financial sector an FTT is the wrong way to meet such demands. The Committee urges the Government to refuse to agree to the Commission's "wholly impractical and unworkable" proposals. In addition, the Government have stated that, whilst they oppose an EU-wide FTT, they have no objection to a global FTT. The Committee found the Minister's explanation of this position unconvincing. If the Government's true position is to oppose an FTT outright, then they should say so.

The EU drugs strategy

26th report of session 2010-12, report

By: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee

In 2008, an estimated 34billion euros was spent on the drugs problem in the EU. Much more needs to be done - and must be done - in the battle against the EU's drugs problem. The EU must be more effective in its fight against drugs trafficking, and should call on Member States to be more ready to learn from each other's experiences and to encourage cross-border dialogue between their local governments and cities. Following a six month-long inquiry, the Committee agree that the Member States should, as now, retain responsibility for their own drugs policies. They recommend that the new EU Strategy should concentrate on three key areas. Firstly, co-ordination, through Europol, of the fight against drug trafficking ensuring that any new measures actually reduce the supply of drugs and do not merely move trafficking elsewhere. Secondly, improvement of the collection, analysis, evaluation and distribution of information by the European Monitoring Centre. Thirdly, reliance on the EU's public health obligations and use of public health duties to encourage Member States to devote more resources to harm reduction and to engage in dispassionate and evidence-based discussions on how best to treat the possession and use of drugs. The Committee believes that the creation of a new drugs strategy, lasting until 2020, should provide the perfect platform for a wider and better informed public debate on different Member States' policies and approaches

Tax Reforms in EU Member States 2012

Tax Policy Challenges for Economic Growth and Fiscal Sustainability

By: European Commission. Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs,European Commission. Directorate-General for Taxation and Customs Union

The report is prepared jointly by DG ECFIN and DG TAXUD of the European Commission. As the previous editions, the report analyses recent trends in tax revenues and tax reforms in EU Member States. A particular focus of this year's edition is the analysis of the EU VAT system and tax policy challenges faced by EU Member States. The report examines the economic and policy implications of the EU VAT system, of which it provides an overview of the history and possible future. It analyses welfare gains and economic benefits from simplifying VAT procedures and reviews options to reduce VAT fraud and evasion. Applying an indicator based approach, the report identifies horizontal challenges that EU Member States are currently facing in the area of tax policy. These relate to (i) fiscal consolidation on the revenue side and growth-friendly tax structures, (ii) broadness of tax bases in both direct and indirect taxation, with a particular focus on corporate tax expenditure, (iii) the need to improve tax governance and (iv) specific tax issues, namely housing taxation, environmental taxation and some redistributive aspects of taxation." -- EU Bookshop.
