Abstract: Many theories of tax competition views that competition leads to inefficiently low tax rates and public expenditure levels. However, more recently other theories have been done in order to investigate the desirable effects of tax competition. Such as the benefices of raising total tax intake due to low corporate tax rates stimulating economic growth. Tax competition in Europe is a little bit different from international tax competition because we have to take in consideration the behavior of economic agents and public institutions in a specific geographic, political, economic and legal setting. This paper describes some approaches to extract the potential benefits of tax competition in order to develop European economy; we will see how tax competition handles inefficiencies in both the private sector and the public sector in Europe. We will also discuss how tax competition effects may represent important changes in the distribution of income.
