On 27 November 2023, ETAF replied to the European Commission's public consultation on how to rationalise reporting requirements originating from EU legislation and weighing on companies.
Our statement outlines that DAC6 reporting requirements are seen as the main problematic ones for the tax profession at the moment. However, we also shed light on other reporting requirements in recently adopted/implemented EU legislations or in pending tax proposals which might reveal problematic.
In general, ETAF sees the introduction of white lists, threshold values, categories, or gradual implementation to reduce the reporting burden for SMEs compared to MNEs, as good tools to rationalise reporting requirements.
