What they asked for

  1. Who can use it?

    Wants changes
    Call for evidence (2025) · 22 Sep 2025

    Make the 28th regime open to all companies to opt into voluntarily, not only 'innovative companies', and clarify what 'innovative companies' means.

    “The 28th regime should be open to all companies to opt-into voluntarily. ... As such, to only make it available to ‘innovative companies’ may impact the application of this system. Moreover, clarity on what is meant by the term ‘innovative companies' is needed.”

    Ensure the 28th regime does not overreach into Member States’ national taxation affairs and remains focused on facilitating business growth within the Single Market.

    “there are real threats to this proposal if it is deemed by legislators as over reaching into Member States’ national affairs such as taxation.”
