Joint initiative

We were pleased to invite you to our joint event with PensionsEurope on practical solutions to improve withholding tax procedures in Europe.

Withholding tax (WHT) costs the EU economy around €8.6 billion annually and is the result of a complicated and inefficient system.

Our event examined the causes and look at means to improve procedures. This will include the proposal by PensionsEurope on the EU tax register of recognised pension institutions, based around IT solutions.
