European Tax Harmonisation (Hansard, 18 December 2002)

HC Deb 18 December 2002 vol 396 c817W 817W

§ Keith Vaz
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on Franco-German plans for European tax harmonisation. [87015]

§ Dawn Primarolo
The Government's view is that fair tax competition is the way forward, not proposals for tax harmonisation. The Government will not support any action at European level that would threaten jobs and investment or damage the competitive position of British business.
