In April 2017, ETAF positioned itself regarding the Services Package of the European Commission, which consists of an obligatory Proportionality Test before adopting new professional regulations, a Notification Procedure that requires Member States to notify every new provision in an early drafting stage to the Commission and a European Services e-Card, that aims at facilitating administrative procedures in order to provide services in EU countries other than the home country.
Regulated tax advising professions ensure a high level of quality in business services and contribute to growth by establishing a trustful and liable working relationship with business partners. ETAF Members are therefore very concerned about the Services Package as it questions fundamental pillars of all tax advising professions.
