On January 22, 2024, TEI submitted to the European Commission regarding the Commission's proposed directive on Business in Europe: Framework for Income Taxation ("BEFIT"), which aims to simplify corporate income taxation among EU members states. TEI's comments focused on the interaction between BEFIT and the OECD's Pillar Two initiative, which may lead to unintended consequences, among other things. TEI's comments were prepared under the aegis of its EMEA Direct Tax Committee. TEI Tax Counsel, Benjamin R. Shreck, coordinated the drafting of TEI's comments.
