In early June, the European Commission issued guidelines on how to regulate the functioning of sharing economy platforms on the EU internal market.

And what are the tax risks associated with the diffusion of such platforms?

The policy paper written by Kryštof Kruliš of the Association for International Issues (AMO) draws on the conclusions of the conference “Sharing Economy: The View from the Visegrad Group”, which was kindly supported by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom and the International Visegrad Fund within the project “Smooth Functioning of the Internal Market between V4 Countries”.
