On Wednesday, 25 June 2025, the Policy Department for Economy and Growth organises a workshop with FISC Members to present a study on “Tax barriers and cross-border workers: tackling the fragmentation of the EU tax framework”.
This study provides a mapping of the existing financial sector taxes applied in EU Member States and summarises the empirical evidence on the various effects associated with individual financial sector taxes.
It focuses on the taxation of financial transactions, bank taxes, and the taxation of financial services. Financial sector taxes are assessed in terms of their effect on fragmentation and the coherence of the EU financial sector. The study also sketches some directions for reform to improve coherence of financial sector taxation.
