Abstract

Abstract The topicality of the topic lies in the importance of taxation and reforms in this field for the economic development of any state. For the EU, as a conglomeration of states and as an exponent of economic globalization, taxation has a strong influence on the multiple economic processes that take place within this structure, as well as within each member state. Undoubtedly, from the perspective of the possible association with the European Union, for the Republic of Moldova, the fiscal changes with subsequent impact on the socio-economic development have a special importance. However, Community tax policy is difficult to impose in the European area, especially because of the obstacles it faces, especially those caused by the Member States themselves, which are reluctant to apply common rules, in particular to the elimination of various forms of tax discrimination, double taxation or tax evasion. The main tools that the European Union intends to use to bring Member States’ taxation closer together are tax harmonization and tax cooperation between Member States.

Highlights

  • Tax harmonization involves a process of reconciliation between the national legal rules of the Member States, as well as between national legal rules and Community rules, which translates into the obligation of national tax systems to comply with Community rules, the obligation based on the principle of Community rules in relation to the national ones

  • Tax harmonization is based on legislative harmonization, which must cover all types and forms of taxation practiced in the Member States (Alexandru, 2002)

  • The difficulties encountered by the legislative harmonization effort have led the European Union to try to use more efficient and easier to accept means by the states, respectively by using other means of fiscal cooperation between the member states (Agnese, 2015)
