Do you know your EU tax number?

Apparently we are all supposed to get one, a "tin" tax identification number from the EU. The EU will be imposing taxes on a federal level soon so they have to lay the groundwork for that. I hope the additional EU taxes won't be too high as I am up to me eyeballs in taxes already.

Can't remember any more numbers without forgetting the ones I have .

Is this the one they've been tattooing the barcodes of on babies?

Is this for real?

I read this and the first thought I have is:
'Hang on a second, should we not get a chance to vote on the government on an EU level. Like voting for a federal government.'

Yes indeed...

MEPs on the European Parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee have approved a plan to introduce the EU equivalent of a PPS number.

The so-called European Taxpayer Identification number is seen by Eurosceptics as a precursor to a European tax. Supporters of the plan say it would make exchanging tax information more efficient.

Its your PPS number.

All thats being done now is a centralised portal whereby tax numbers are shared between EU countries to aid in the prevention of fraud.

Such a noble gesture. I trust the EU 100%. Of course they would never lie to us about anything, they would never set something up and lie to us about why it was set up. It is all about the prevention of fraud! All this centralisation of power is about the prevention of fraud. They are doing it for our own good.

You get your answer, its doesn't fit your anti EU narrative, so its all lies. GTF

We are the EU.

Part of our taxes are paid into a pot to pay for it already.

Separating tax paid to the EU on our payslips would make it clear how much or how little it costs and could prompt engagement or evaluation that currently doesn't happen.

Well, you just made up something about federal taxation on your own; so you're rather good at the lying to people

But we are keeping the recovery going, aren't we? A direct result of voting YES FOR JOBS. Experts said we are better together. Going forward I hope our European Partners and experts tell us how lucky we are on a more regular basis to drive the point home.

This always brings a tear to my eye. Everything about the EU is mindbogglingly fabulous to the max. The sincerity was just ooozing out of this lovely young man..

What do you think the push for EU tax harmonisation is all about? That and the fact that the EU is building the infrastructure for centralised taxation. Yeah yeah, it is just benevolent oversight. Stop fraud, blah blah blah. How naive you all are.
