On 30 November, the UK Government published a Call for Evidence on the balance of competence between the United Kingdom and the European Union on taxation.
The Foreign Secretary launched the Balance of Competence Review in Parliament on 12 July 2012, taking forward the Coalition commitment to examine the balance of competences between the UK and the European Union.
The review is broken down into a series of reports on specific areas of EU competence, spread over four semesters between autumn 2012 and autumn 2014. It is led by the Government, but will also involve non-governmental experts, organisations and other individuals who wish to contribute their views. Foreign governments, including EU partners and the EU institutions, are also being invited to submit responses.
HM Treasury is leading on the strand of the review covering taxation and is seeking views from individuals and groups with an interest or experience in taxation policy and its application on how the competence is used and what that means for the UK.
The public call for evidence on taxation will run for 12 weeks from 26 November 2012 to 18 February 2013. Following the call for evidence, a report on the current balance of competence on taxation and what this means for the national interest will be published by summer 2013.
