Abstract
The idea of gradually converging the tax systems of the Member States of the European Union
is as old as the Union itself. It can be stated that the achievement of tax harmonization objectives
has progressed in many areas. The main objective of this process is to facilitate the movement of goods
and services in the common European market and to remove administrative barriers to cross-border
trade within the Union. The paper aims to examine and analyze similarities, respectively the diversity
of Member States’ tax systems in different respects. Priority analysis is focused on business entities. It
can be stated that the tax or administrative burden on entrepreneurs in EU countries varies to a large
extent.
