As the digital transformation of the economy accelerates there is a growing need to find solutions to ensure a fair and effective taxation of digital companies. approaches for taxing the digital economy which were further examined in the OECD "Tax challenges Arising from Digitalisation Interim Report 2018". As the digital transformation of the economy accelerates there is a growing need to find solutions to ensure a fair and effective taxation of digital companies. However, to date the OECD work on taxing the digital economy has not delivered sufficient progress, which illustrates the need for the Union to advance on this matter at Union level. This Directive should also serve as a basis for further work at the international level. In the absence of a common Union approach, Member States will adopt unilateral solutions, which will lead to regulatory uncertainty and will be difficult for companies which operate cross-border and for tax authorities. 2 Recital 3 a (new) (3a) The European Parliament concluded in its final reports of the Committee of Inquiry into Money Laundering, Tax Avoidance and Tax Evasion and the Special Committees on Tax Rulings and Other Measures Similar in Nature or Effect the need to address the tax challenges connected to the digital economy.
