This study aims at quantifying and comparing tax compliance
costs burdening private businesses in the European Union by
reviewing the available empirical literature and data with a focus
on small and medium-sized enterprises. Data as well as
methodological challenges are discussed and used to identify
best-practice tax systems in Europe. We highlight differences in
compliance costs met by firms of differing sizes, engaging or not
in cross-border trade and for different tax types.
