The case for an EU tax is not convincing

• It is argued that the EU tax is not needed. Different forms it could take have been indicated, and it has been shown that whatever the form chosen, the complications would be great and the compliance costs considerable. With all these strong arguments against the EU tax, and given the sad fact that most taxes are unpopular from the outset, the case for an EU tax is not convincing. Support for the EU among the EU citizens is not strong enough to be played around with. A tax that would weaken this support would be an expensive measure indeed.
