Tax harmonization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tax harmonization refers to the process of making taxes identical or at least similar in a region. In practise, it usually means increasing tax in low-tax jurisdictions, rather than reducing tax in high-tax jurisdictions or a combination of both. The best example is the European Union where all countries must have a value added tax of at least 15%.
