Europeans For Tax Reform

Our Campaigns


ETR is clearly advocating the reduction of the costs of the public sector to a maximum of 40 percent of GDP already including state sponsored social security charges and state owned industrial acitivity.


ETR strongly hold the view that in time of global market pressure is on Europe to reduce it almost immoral taxation level. Europe can not sustain taxation levels of over 50% when the US and Japan and most other competitors have significantly lower burdens on their people and business. This has to change now.

The European Taxpayers Pledge for Legislators

The European Taxpayer Protection Pledge is the key project of Europeans for Tax Reform.
The European Pledge* reads:
I,____________, pledge to the taxpayers of Europe and especially of the Nation of _________ and that I will:ONE, oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates for individuals and/or businesses and work with all my effort for the reduction of taxation levels in Europe.TWO, oppose any efforts to harmonise or coordinate taxation systems in Europe with the result of either reducing competition between member states or increasing taxation levels.__________________________Signed __________________________Date
