The book "A Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base for Europe" offers a comprehensive analysis of the proceedings from the International Tax Conference held in May 2007 in Berlin. This conference, organized by prominent institutions such as the German Federal Ministry of Finance and the Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property, Competition and Tax Law, brought together over 250 participants from various fields, including scholars, politicians, and tax administrators. The central topic of discussion was the European Commission's proposal for the introduction of a Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB). The contributions from experts illuminate the structural elements, consolidation, distribution, as well as international aspects and administration of the CCCTB. The book demonstrates how the CCCTB can help address some of the most pressing issues of corporate taxation within the internal market by simplifying compliance with tax rules and reducing administrative costs. It also discusses how the CCCTB can facilitate cross-border investments within the EU.
