In relation to possible additional sources of revenue that the EU is examining, I note that there is mention of common consolidated corporate tax base, including the digital sector. These are proposals that are not agreed, either the common consolidated corporate tax base, CCCTB, or the new proposed method of taxing the very large digital companies based on where their users are as opposed to where these companies are tax resident. To what extent is the Commission factoring in income from proposals that are not yet decided on or agreed or are they not being factored in at all?
