AEIP Publishes its Position on the Financial Transaction Tax
The AEIP position paper on the Financial Transaction Tax (FTT) presents a number of key messages and valid arguments, which support an exception of occupational pension funds from the FTT, as well as of funded or partly funded pension institutions subject to Regulation (EC) 883/2004.
Having in mind the joint position paper of France and Germany on the FTT and following the most recent Council discussions at the level of finance ministers as well as at the level of technical working parties, AEIP would like to underline the important role of occupational pension funds and funded pension institutions, while requesting for their exemption from the FTT.
