Confédération Fiscale Européenne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CFE Tax Advisers Europe, formerly known as Confédération Fiscale Européenne (CFE), is a Brussels-based umbrella association of European tax advisers.[1] It was founded in 1959,[2][3] CFE brings together members from 30 national tax adviser organisations in 24 European countries, representing more than 200,000 tax advisers. CFE strives to contribute to the co-ordination and development of tax law in Europe by sharing the unique insight of our members with European institutions, and to promote the co-ordination of national laws that govern and safeguard the tax adviser profession.

Structure[]

The General Assembly is the governing body of CFE Tax Advisers Europe, in which each member state is able to be represented by up to six delegates, and observers countries by up to two delegates. The primary responsibilities of the General Assembly are to decide on the acceptance of members and observers, to approve amendments to the governing statutes, to adopt the business report of the Executive Board and to approve the accounts and budget for the CFE.[citation needed]

The Executive Board is in charge of the day to day work of CFE Tax Advisers Europe and reports to the General Assembly. The Board monitors developments in taxation law and the profession within Europe, and devises and manages CFE’s work streams arising from these issues. Work is managed through three committees, the Fiscal Committee, the Professional Affairs Committee and the Tax Technology Committee, which are chaired by a member of the Board. Delegates from each of the three committees also form various working groups and subcommittees focussed on specific or time sensitive issues that necessitate specialist input. The CFE Fiscal Committee is in charge of the CFE's extensive technical work on taxation. The Fiscal Committee has two sub-groups: Direct Taxation Sub-Committee and Indirect Taxation Sub-Committee. For the discussion of topical tax matters the Fiscal Committee regularly establishes Task Forces to which outside experts may also be appointed. The CFE Professional Affairs Committee deals with professional and regulatory matters and the Tax Technology Committee is devoted to digital transformation and all its ramifications for tax.[citation needed]
