25.05.2026 13:10
Dear Members, Partners and Colleagues,
Dear Tax Fighters!
Please find attached the latest TAE newsletter for your information.
It contains information on important political developments. Important and fundamental decisions are now pending in Brussels that will affect us all personally, but which could, above all, have an impact on the sovereignty of the Member States. Among other things, this concerns the European Commission’s proposal to levy new and additional EU own resources EU-taxes, to take on further EU debt and to transfer even more national powers to Brussels.
We at the Taxpayers Association of Europe (TAE) are doing our utmost to represent taxpayers’ interests in Brussels and have been extremely active on your behalf in recent months. And we are in the process of further strengthening our organisational structure.
