The Atlantic separates us, but Europe and the US are deeply linked, and our economies can only thrive together. Find out more about the EU-US relationship on our Thriving Together Platform. The data presented across this website is extracted from the latest edition of The Transatlantic Economy, the annual survey of jobs, trade and investment between Europe and the United States. The study is supported by AmCham EU and the US Chamber of Commerce. The research was conducted by Daniel S. Hamilton and Joseph P. Quinlan for the Wilson Center’s Global Europe Program and the Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).

Industry calls for ambitious tax simplification
AmCham EU has joined 22 other business, financial and professional associations in calling on Member States to reach agreement on the Commission’s Tax Simplification Package. The measures could save businesses operating in Europe around €8 billion a year, money currently absorbed by complexity rather than invested in growth. Tax collected only to be refunded and withholding taxes that hinder investment in the Single Market add costs without strengthening the tax base. Europe has already strengthened its tax framework, so simplification can go ahead without weakening enforcement. Agreement will only matter if the ambition of the package survives the negotiations.
