The internal session closed with the presentation of the Lizanne Scott Staff Excellence Award, which was awarded to Mia Dragojlovic, Senior Events and Marketing Coordinator and Nick Pawley, Senior Content Adviser.

Priorities for a pro-growth Tax Omnibus
The Tax Omnibus presents a critical opportunity to modernise the EU tax framework in light of the evolving international framework, notably the implementation of Pillar 2. Many existing directives were designed in response to earlier Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) measures and now impose duplicative, fragmented and resource-intensive requirements on businesses. These burdens undermine tax certainty, increase compliance costs and weaken the EU’s attractiveness as an investment destination.

FSR compliance: complexity undermining competitiveness

Preventing FFCs from distorting the Single Market is an important goal – and one that must be achieved without creating its own disruptions.
