European Tax Residency

[u/Negative-Mix7837]

Not sure where to post it, soo...

I had an idea that maybe a parallel tax residency could be created, so that you could either pay taxes to the country you live in or to the European budget. Maybe the choice could have some conditions (either have a different citizenship then the country you're in or some kind of limits, dunno TBH), because I assume countries wouldn't want to risk significantly reduced budgets.

Anyway I guess it could help if you'd like to migrate to a different country in EU, or live in two or more countries. Just dealing with different tax systems when thinking about it gives me a headache (especially the wealth taxes and needing to submit information about your wealth if you plan to live in a given country for a few years).

why tho

Less friction when wanting to move somewhere within EU? Like one year you live in one country, second in another, without having to learn two additional tax systems. Maybe a step towards closer integration without going full federalization.

But then that country would have lots of people living in it not paying towards the infrastructure and services they're using. Sure the country could offset that against EU funds. But this seems like a really roundabout way of doing that. Nice idea but I think the accountants would shoot this one down.
