EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports the 28th regime as a first step to reduce fragmentation but wants clearer safeguards, less national divergence, and better tax and talent-related provisions.
Support the proposed employee stock option plan but call for adjacent proposals to reduce administrative burdens on training, mutual recognition of qualifications, and support for upskilling SME and finance professionals.
“We welcome the proposed employee stock option plan. However, we believe there needs to be adjacent proposals to reduce the administrative burdens imposed by member states on training and mutual recognition of qualifications, facilitate cross border recognition and provide supports for upskilling of SME and finance professionals.”

Introduce adjacent proposals to reduce administrative burdens on training and mutual recognition of qualifications, facilitate cross-border recognition, and support upskilling of SME and finance professionals to aid talent attraction and retention.
“Attraction and retention is critically important to companies at all stages of the lifecycle. We welcome the proposed employee stock option plan. However, we believe there needs to be adjacent proposals to reduce the administrative burdens imposed by member states on training and mutual recognition of qualifications, facilitate cross border recognition and provide supports for upskilling of SME and finance professionals.”

Provide more clarity and consistency in implementing the regulations, especially regarding essential safeguards like Article 28(2), and minimize references to national law to reduce divergence while respecting national sovereignty.
“Clarity and consistency, when implementing the proposed regulations, is critical to ensure benefits are realised. For example, more clarity could be provided in relation to essential safeguards such as those in Article 28(2). Additionally, there are several articles that refer to national law thereby increasing the possibility of divergence of treatment and these should be minimised where possible notwithstanding national sovereignty.”

Address the location of taxation in the regulations, especially for employee stock options, to avoid divergent tax residence views and double taxation, and ensure VAT registration processes respect national thresholds to avoid unnecessary burdens.
“The regulations should address the location of taxation where relevant for example in relation to employee stock options. At present the regulations note in article 79 (3) ‘The income described in paragraph 2 shall be equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares at the date of disposal and their acquisition price. It shall be subject to taxation in accordance with national law.’ ... any process leading to automatic VAT registration needs to ensure the integrity of the VAT registration process is upheld ... It also needs to consider national requirements include VAT registration thresholds as registration may not be required under national tax law. Where registration is premature an unnecessary compliance burden is created.”
