The Tax Filing and Compliance Challenges Many Businesses Face in Europe

Navigating tax filing and compliance in Europe — especially for cross-border or growing operations — is increasingly complex in 2026:

• Fragmented national rules across 27 countries lead to differing corporate tax bases, filing deadlines, deduction regimes, and reporting formats, creating heavy administrative burdens, risks of double taxation, and uncertainty for businesses operating or expanding across multiple EU states.

• Evolving EU regulations and deadlines, including Pillar

Two top‑up tax information returns due by mid‑2026, potential omnibus simplifications in Q2 2026, DAC updates, and ongoing efforts to resolve overlaps in directives, demand constant monitoring to avoid missed filings or penalties.

• Time‑consuming manual processes—gathering data, calculating liabilities, preparing returns, and ensuring accuracy across jurisdictions—drain resources, increase the likelihood of mistakes, and divert focus from core business priorities.

• Rising compliance costs and heightened audit exposure add to the challenge, as businesses without expert guidance face fines, interest, and audits, particularly amid EU pushes for transparency and anti‑avoidance measures that, despite simplification efforts, still leave significant gaps for SMEs and international teams.

These issues are widespread for startups scaling into Europe, e-commerce/digital businesses, multinational groups, and companies hiring cross-border — often leading to stress, unexpected liabilities, and slowed growth.
