The European Tobin Tax. A tax on financial transactions (DIEEEO06-2013)

In order to attend the present financial and economic crisis, actions focused on financial and other sectors have to be taken. A debate has arisen from inside the EU over whether a Financial Transaction Tax (AKA as Tobin Tax) should be implemented or not, in order to provide more secure financial services and to avoid some practices nowadays in use.
The present study shows the main strengths and weaknesses of implementation of the EU’s “financial transaction taxing system”, analyzing the origin of this kind of taxes, the European Commission regulation draft and its effects on EU member States budgets.
