FEE believes that tax policy, and how key players interact in developing it, needs a thorough rethink. Tax policy must adapt to ever changing circumstances and respond to pressing public demands. The accountancy profession, through its knowledge and experience of existing tax systems, is a crucial contributor to this debate.

FEE’s new paper, The accountancy profession and taxation: doing the right thing, clarifies the role and responsibility of the professional accountants in the context of tax policy. It also highlights the positive role that the accountancy profession has in the correct functioning of the European states’ tax systems.
