The Impact of Taxation on Gender Equality in the EU
On 13 January 2025, from 16:00 to 17:15, the FISC Subcommittee will host a public hearing on the impact of taxation on gender equality in the European Union. The hearing is organized in the context of the European Parliament’s Gender Equality Week 2024, which took place from 2 to 5 December 2025.
The hearing will look at how tax measures in EU Member States affect gender equality, either in a positive or a negative way. It will examine what tax policies can currently be seen as obstacles to promoting gender equality and look at how these obstacles can be addressed. Moreover, the hearing will examine tax measures that can serve as a best practice or which could be considered to advance gender equality. Finally, it will consider whether EU-level tax policies can contribute to achieving this aim.
