Policy makers need to ensure that the tax system remains well aligned with societal and economic developments. Megatrends, such as the changing demography, the introduction of circular business models, the uptake of generative AI and declining multilateralism may all have an impact on the tax system and the tax mix.
The European Business Tax Forum (EBTF) and The Ex’tax Project Foundation (Ex’tax) would like to welcome you to the launch of the 2025 Total Tax Contribution (TTC) Study in light of the current megatrends, followed by a symposium focusing on fiscal barriers and enablers for the circular economy.
At this event, the 7th edition of the TTC Study will be presented, followed by a panel session, discussing how the current megatrends could impact the different elements of the Total Tax Contribution for both businesses and policy makers. The Tax & Circular Economy Symposium will explore questions such as:
-What will be a healthy tax mix for governments and businesses?
-How would a taxshift from labour to green taxes impact strategic investment decisions and innovative business models?
-Can every business be a ‘winner’, by evolving its portfolio towards solutions of the future?
