The European Commission has launched a new online information tool on taxes in the Member States. The online database provides information on the main taxes in force in the Member States, such as tax base, main exemptions and rate applicable. In addition, it gives information on the revenue generated by each tax. Four Member States (Cyprus, Ireland, Malta and Portugal) are not represented currently.

The information on the online database was provided to the European Commission by the national authorities.
