Legislation & taxation

Every entrepreneur must be aware of the legal obligations and rules in order to build a successful business. All EU countries need to respect EU law but they may also have rules of their own. As for taxation rules, direct taxation remains the sole responsibility of EU countries but there are bilateral tax treaties between countries. Find websites and platforms that gather and summarise all the regulations, directives and decisions you need to know when expanding abroad or hiring staff.

 

Use the ‘country’ filter below to refine your search and view country-specific information only. 

 

If you are unable to find country- or sector-specific information, try using other search criteria.

 

To help with this, we have added tags which enable you to search for specific information throughout the platform, so that you can view all the relevant information on one topic without having to browse through all the sections and sub-sections.

 

As some information is relevant to both women and men, please keep in mind that some results will target women in particular, while others will be relevant to entrepreneurs in general.
