Unlike the 2011 proposal, the Commission is focusing politically at this time on the role of the CCCTB on combating tax avoidance, from what we have heard today, we would be abolishing the higher rates and letting very large companies shift to a narrower tax base. Does Mr. Coffey think the Commission is trying to hijack the genuine and justified public anger at corporate tax avoidance to push a political project?
