Abstract

Este documento analiza el problema de la doble imposición en la Unión Europea como expresión de una inconsistencia estructural entre la integración del mercado interior y la fragmentación de los sistemas tributarios nacionales. Demuestra la insuficiencia de los mecanismos actuales de resolución de controversias, caracterizados por la incertidumbre, las demoras y la falta de uniformidad. Por consiguiente, aboga por la creación de un Tribunal Fiscal Europeo con jurisdicción vinculante, capaz de garantizar decisiones independientes, coherentes y eficaces, promoviendo así una verdadera jurisprudencia fiscal europea. Reconociendo los desafíos asociados a la soberanía de los Estados miembros, concluye que dicha evolución constituye un requisito funcional del proceso de integración, siendo esencial para garantizar la coherencia y la integridad del mercado interior.
