EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Opposes the current worsening conditions for startups in some EU countries and the introduction of exit taxes that hinder company mobility within the EU.
Ensure the EU company form supports startups and SMEs by addressing the high costs and complex social systems that hinder their establishment and growth.
“Many EU countries are worsening their situation for startups, such as Belgium. In Belgium, we have: - a very complex social system adding at the over 8k of annual cost for the most BASIC startup, even with *no* revenue [accountant, social cabinet, lawyer, notary, 3rd parties -for meal voucher-, mandatory 3.7k social security]”

Remove or reform exit taxes that prevent companies from moving their headquarters within the EU to survive and stay close to consumers.
“countries like Belgium and France are implementing an `Exit tax` to prevent companies who do not manage to survive in that environment from going away... This tax is 10% of ALL assets as well as 10% of the UNREALIZED value of the company to be paid to the country to allow to move the HQ.”
