Promoting taxation that is favourable to wealth creation and employment in France
In recent years, the EU has focused its actions in the field of taxation on fighting tax avoidance. Whilst Afep supports these efforts, we believe that EU tax reforms should aim to support the competitiveness of European business and the attractiveness of the EU’s and member states’ territories. The EU should stop promoting measures that place European companies at a competitive disadvantage towards their international competitors, but rather defend the interests of its companies against the protectionist behavior of certain third countries by developing a European “fiscal diplomacy”. Afep calls for sound and stable tax rules at EU level, ensuring a level playing field between economic players through a wider tax convergence.
Laetitia de La Rocque joined AFEP in February 2012 as Director of Tax Affairs. In collaboration with the Association’s members, she is responsible for setting out proposals and positions for large companies in matters of domestic, European and international taxation. A tax lawyer, her previous expertise in corporate tax was developed at Arthur Andersen International, CMS-Bureau Francis Lefebvre and Ernst & Young.
