AMSTERDAM- The European Commission will investigate whether or not employees and self-employed persons working cross-border suffer from fiscal discrimination.
Brussels will for instance investigate whether foreign employees pay more tax money than their native colleagues. Furthermore, it will be looked into whether or not employees from other member states may claim the same tax deductions. According to the commission, fiscal obstruction is still the main barrier in creating an internal market. “The EU regulations are quite clear: all EU citizens should be treated equal in the internal market’, according to Member of the European Commission for Anti-Fraud Algirdas Semeta.
Core Principles
‘Most of the member states honour these core principles. Should there, however, be member states whose tax regulations do not meet these principles, then I will be willing to do whatever possible in order to rectify the situation.’ In clear terms this means that should discrimination occur, then the commission will address the concerning national authorities. If the member state makes no changes, the European Commission may start an infringement procedure against this member state. The European Union holds approximately 1.2 million people working abroad.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.
Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands
