EESO poziva države članice EU, naj se na evropski in mednarodni ravni bolj usklajujejo v davčnih zadevah, povezanih z digitalnim in sodelovalnim gospodarstvom. S tesnejšim usklajevanjem davčnih politik, ki se nanašajo na novi gospodarski sektor, ter pripravo instrumentov in delujočih rešitev bi lahko izboljšali izpolnjevanje davčnih obveznosti, zagotovili lojalno konkurenco in v celoti izkoristili potencial tega novega sektorja.
EESO sicer podpira sedanje sodelovanje med Evropsko komisijo, državami članicami EU in OECD/G20 pri tem vprašanju, vendar v mnenju, ki ga je plenarna skupščina EESO sprejela 15. julija 2020, kljub temu spodbuja države članice k iskanju rešitev na ravni EU, če v nasprotju z načrti do konca leta 2020 ne bo dosežen mednarodni sporazum in ga v bližnji prihodnosti tudi ni pričakovati. Odbor je predlagal jasne in usklajene obveznosti glede poročanja za podjetja digitalnega in sodelovalnega gospodarstva ter funkcionalen in sorazmeren sistem zbiranja in izmenjave podatkov na ravni EU, če bo prišlo do zamude pri doseganju mednarodnega sporazuma.
Poročevalka Ester Vitale je na plenarnem zasedanju EESO še posebej opozorila, da je treba nemudoma ukrepati. „Obdavčitev in davčne politike je treba prilagajati nenehnemu razvoju sodelovalnega gospodarstva. Mednarodne, evropske in nacionalne institucije se morajo učinkovito in hitro odzvati na vprašanja, ki se pri tem pojavljajo. Najbolje bi bilo, če bi rešitev našli na mednarodni ali celo svetovni ravni,“ je dejala poročevalka in poudarila, „da je treba sedanja davčna pravila in modele prilagoditi novemu poslovnemu okolju.“ (mp)
