According to a report by the Financial Times, a draft proposal from the European Commission shows that Brussels authorities intend to levy a so-called "European Corporate Resource Tax" on large enterprises operating in the EU, aimed at creating an independent revenue source for the EU common budget, which exceeds 1 trillion euros. This tax reform plan, to be announced next week, must be approved by a unanimous vote of the member states to take effect, and it targets all enterprises with an annual net turnover exceeding 50 million euros, regardless of the location of their headquarters. According to the draft design, the annual tax will adopt a "tiered" collection mechanism, imposing a heavier tax burden on corporate groups with higher net income.
