Mission & Goals
The mission of Tax Foundation Europe is to improve lives through tax policies that lead to greater economic growth and opportunity. Our vision is a world where the tax code doesn’t stand in the way of success. Every day, in the European Union and throughout Europe, our team of trusted experts strives towards that vision by remaining principled, insightful, and engaged and by advancing the principles of sound tax policy: simplicity, neutrality, transparency, and stability. We produce research and analysis specifically designed to inform five key debates in European tax policy: the concept of tax fairness, the twin transitions of the green and digital economies, government revenue and own resources, competitiveness and productivity, and the future of taxation in Europe. Tax Foundation Europe is a Belgian AISBL (international non-profit) and does not represent any commercial interests. We provide public goods such as research on tax policy for public consumption and education.

Additional Information
Tax Foundation Europe was established as a Belgian AISBL in 2024. We therefore do not have a full year of financial information to disclose at this time. In the interest of transparency, we propose an estimate which we will replace with official figures once they become available. Tax Foundation is a fiscal sponsor of Tax Foundation Europe providing 100 percent of funds for 2024. Tax Foundation is a separate legal entity that is funded through charitable contributions from individuals, corporates, and foundations. In 2023, and so far in 2024, no donor has funded more than 10 percent and EUR 10,000 of Tax Foundation's operations. The 229,000 EUR funds for Tax Foundation Europe were contributed from Tax Foundation's general budget which was $8,102,198 in 2024.
