Amendments to Parliament's Rules of Procedure (A8-0462/2018 - Richard Corbett) DA

31-01-2019

Vi danske socialdemokrater i Europa-Parlamentet støtter større kontrol med og revision af tillægget til generelle udgifter til kontorhold, som ofte kaldes blyantspenge.
Socialdemokratiet mener, at forslaget i denne betænkning har en stor svaghed, idet revisionen er frivillig for europaparlamentarikere. Vi mener, revisionen skal være obligatorisk for alle.
Det er for os afgørende, at der er klare, ens og kontrollerbare regler, at kontrollen udøves af fagprofessionelt personale, og at samtlige europaparlamentarikere underlægges ens og effektive kontrolsystemer.

Common system of a digital services tax on revenues resulting from the provision of certain digital services (A8-0428/2018 - Paul Tang) DA

13-12-2018

Socialdemokratiet mener, at det er EU’s medlemslande, der selv skal fastsætte og indkræve skatter. Sådan er det nu. Sådan skal det også være i fremtiden. Samtidigt er det klart, at EU-landene bliver nødt til at indlede et forpligtende samarbejde for at stoppe skatteræset mod bunden.
Vi skal kort sagt lave en bundgrænse for, hvor lidt skat virksomheder kan slippe afsted med at betale i Europa, så vi kan aflyse skatteræset mod bunden og sikre, at lande som Danmark frit kan sætte vores skattesatser over dette niveau.
Internetgiganterne tjener styrtende med penge på deres europæiske brugere. Det har gjort dem til nogle af verdens største og rigeste virksomheder. Men de betaler samtidig nærmest ingenting i skat i de europæiske lande, hvor de tjener deres penge.
F.eks. har vi set hvordan Apple, Google og Facebook alle har betalt under 1% i skat af deres europæiske fortjenester. Det må og skal vi gøre op med. Derfor støtter Socialdemokratiet en særskat på digitale giganter i EU som en midlertidig ordning frem mod en global løsning.
Det er de enkelte medlemslande, der suverænt selv skal stå for opkrævningen af særskatten, og provenuet herfra skal selvfølgelig tilfalde det enkelte medlemsland.
