This paper examines the relationship between the voting behaviour of European Parliament members on the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB) proposal and economic characteristics of their respective countries. We are concerned about the political and economy factors behind policy and decision making of CCCTB in European Parliament. The analysis is conducted with Logit model identifying factors affecting the voting consultation decision of the Parliament of the European Union in 2018. Particularly, we investigate the impact of four components taken from tax benefit index proposed by W. Orłowski. We have found that economic factors alone are responsible the voting behaviour of the European Union deputies, not their personal characteristics.

The introduction of a formulaically apportioned common consolidated corporate tax base (CCCTB) could represent a milestone in international taxation. No agreement has yet been reached, however. In contrast, Germany already has a long-standing system that apportions corporate taxes by splitting trade tax and corporate income tax. This conceptual study, presented at the European Accounting Association (EAA) Congress in Bergen in 2022, will examine whether the German method of splitting could lead to some lessons for an appropriate design for an international profit distribu-tion formula.Methodologically, we use a two-step approach: First, we compare the designs, and then we juxtapose both on a factual level. Next, we ask what the objectives these mechanisms have; do they even coincide? If the goals are not comparable, one cannot indisputably serve as a model for the other. We determine that, even though there are partial deviations, a closer look reveals significant overlaps; however, the German implementation is far from consistent and prioritises practicability. This leads us to our main result: The German system makes a clear value decision towards practicabi-lity, although there is a different set of aims. For the implementation of formulaic EU profit sharing, the lesson to be learned is that practicability should play a central role in the design of the formula. This lesson is important and helpful to accompany and support the implementation process in the EU.

The fundamental objective of the European Union law is to develop the internal market and eliminate all barriers to its functioning. Since the taxation systems of EU member states are highly varied, one of the elements of common market development is the harmonisation of tax regulations. This article contributes to the discussion by indicating the necessity to harmonise various taxation systems of the European Union with respect to the corporate tax.The European Commission has prepared a draft directive in accordance with which the way the tax base is determined would be subject to harmonisation, whereas tax rates would be set by individual member states. The author claims that the common consolidated corporate tax base would lead to the simplification of the provisions of tax law, limitation of costs related to tax documentation and elimination of all barriers resulting from the activity of companies in two or more member states.The process of tax harmonisation is inevitable in the long term and constitutes a natural outcome of integration processes. The concept of a single and common tax policy is the basic condition for the European Union to gain strength in terms of its competitiveness against other economies, such as theUSAorChina.

Podstawowym celem prawa Unii Europejskiej jest rozwój rynku wewnętrznego i znoszenie wszelkich barier w jego funkcjonowaniu. Jednym z elementów rozwoju wspólnego rynku jest harmonizacja przepisów podatkowych, gdyż systemy podatkowe państw członkowskich Unii Europejskiej są bardzo zróżnicowane. Artykuł podejmuje głos w dyskusji dotyczący potrzeby ujednolicenia różnych systemów podatkowych Unii Europejskiej w podatku od przedsiębiorstw.Komisja Europejska przygotowała projekt dyrektywy, zgodnie z którym harmonizacji podlegałby sposób ustalania podstawy opodatkowania, natomiast o wysokości stawek podatkowych decydowałyby poszczególne państwa członkowskie. Zdaniem autora wspólna skonsolidowana podstawa opodatkowania przedsiębiorców korporacyjnych prowadziłaby do uproszczenia przepisów prawa podatkowego, ograniczenia kosztów związanych z dokumentacją podatkową oraz likwidacją wszelkich barier wynikających z działalności przedsiębiorstw w dwóch lub więcej państwach członkowskich.Proces harmonizacji podatkowej w dłuższej perspektywie czasowej jest zjawiskiem nieuchronnym i stanowi naturalny skutek procesów integracyjnych. Idea jednolitej i wspólnej polityki podatkowej jest podstawowym warunkiem wzmocnienia konkurencyjności całej Unii na tle innych gospodarek, takich jak USA czy Chiny.
