Agree

Keep current rates but eliminate deductions and loop holes

Eliminating deductions and loopholes to ensure corporations pay their fair share is in line with the PES's goals of tax fairness and transparency. However, they might prefer adjusting rates alongside these measures for greater equity.

Agree

Raise

However, their stance may vary depending on the economic context and the specific needs of different EU member states.

Slightly agree

Lower, but eliminate deductions and loop holes

Lowering taxes but eliminating deductions and loopholes could be seen as a compromise position that the PES might consider, especially if it leads to a more equitable tax system. However, their general inclination towards progressive taxation makes strong support for this option less likely.

Slightly disagree

Remove taxes on corporations and tax shareholder dividends instead

While the PES supports measures to ensure tax fairness and might be open to innovative taxation methods, completely removing taxes on corporations in favor of taxing shareholder dividends might not fully align with their approach to corporate taxation and social responsibility.

Disagree

Maintain the current rate

Maintaining the current rate without any adjustments may not fully align with the PES's objectives of ensuring corporations contribute adequately to social services and infrastructure, especially if current rates are deemed too low or unfair.

Strongly disagree

Lower

The PES typically advocates for higher or more progressive taxation on corporations rather than lower taxes, as they aim to use tax revenue to fund social programs and reduce inequality.
