The European Commission’s proposal for a Tax Omnibus Directive has been leaked ahead of its official publication later this month.  

The Tax Omnibus Directive aims to simplify the EU direct tax framework, reduce compliance costs for businesses and, ultimately, improve the EU's competitiveness. To that end, it proposes to amend six existing direct tax directives in one go: the Interest and Royalties Directive, the Parent-Subsidiary Directive, the FASTER Directive, the Tax Merger Directive, the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive, and the Dispute Resolution Mechanisms Directive. 

Many of the proposed amendments are highly ambitious. Find out more in this podcast about what the leaked proposal for a Tax Omnibus Directive has to offer!
