| Background |
| |
|
| Are you familiar with the consequences of the latest developments in EU case law? Are you aware of the fact that in many EU Member States tax regulations are in breach of Community law, which has primacy over national law? Do you know the potential risks and opportunities resulting from EU law for your own company? PwC can assist you all the way. |

| Your company as EU citizen |
| |
| As of 1 January 2007, Romanian companies are residents of an EU Member State. This requires a tailored EU tax strategy that will allow effective management of the changes brought about by EU developments. |
| |
| Mitigating risks and maximizing opportunities is the challenge for each EU manager. Some of the questions which are of crucial importance to your company are as follows: |
| |
|
|
How can my company keep abreast of EU law developments, simplify business procedures |
| |
and take advantage of its current and future benefits? |
|
How does my company make sure that it is not paying too much tax, because Community law |
| |
is not fully taken into account? |
|
Should my company file its tax returns based upon EU law arguments or based on domestic |
| |
legislation in force? |
|
How is the opportunity for claiming EU refunds taken advantage of? |
|
How can my company manage reputation risks, relationships with local revenue authorities? |
|
What are the costs of litigation? |
|
How can my company avoid uncertainty about its tax position and accounting issues? |
| |
|
