The European Commission has launched a public consultation on taxpayers’ rights. The consultation is designed to collect information on direct tax related problems facing citizens when they exercise their freedoms in cross-border activities.

The results of the consultation will feed into the Commission’s Recommendation which is scheduled for the third quarter of 2021. The objective of the Recommendation is to facilitate the implementation of taxpayers’ rights and simplify their obligations.

The public consultation is in the form of questionnaire, with a response deadline of 2 June 2021.
