The share of investments made in the European chip sector shrank compared to worldwide spending, falling from around 10% in 2000 to 4% in 2010, according to the European Court of Auditors. Since then, the situation has not improved.

That is your very limited and incorrect interpretation of what businesses unfriendly means. Businesses want a clear framework where the processes to adhere to the law are predictable and preferably streamlined in an efficient way. In many countries inefficient administration is a huge issue, like in Germany or France. This has nothing to do with taxation but with predictability and agility in doing business.
Agreed. Here in Germany there’s a big problem that even all business have to comply with many regulations meant for corporations, making the expenses for smaller companies enormous.
Given: not all of them are driving innovation, but my entrepreneur friends who run their businesses in Germany plan to move their endeavors elsewhere.
I’m all up for a social state, but not for the laws that only large corporations can easily follow.
Disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer or a businessman myself and only know about the matter anecdotally.
I’m interested in what these regulations are. In Sweden there is often talk of how the law for job security (lagen om anställningsskydd) is the biggest hurdle for businesses, making it expensive and a risk to hire people since you can’t just fire them willy nilly. Critics make it seem like you can’t fire them at all, even for being incompetent, when in actuality you can if you just set clear expectations and document why they are not met. Not to mention the six month trial period for new hires where you can fire them willy nilly, and I wonder what jobs there are where half a year isn’t enough to tell if they are a good fit.
Entrepeneurs (translation, mostly dude bro type) don’t like to pay taxes or wages so they delocalize to parasitic societies like Estonia that allow tax residence while furnishing avenues for fiscal engineering to reduce effective taxation.
We need a harmonized EU fiscal code with a progressive corporate tax with per capita allowances ONLY if your workforce is EU based. Let’s see BOSCH fire 14k in Germany alleging headwinds only to then hire the same amount in India with a fraction of the labour cost. We need to stop our ruling class from committing wage theft by using slave labour abroad while collecting spending domestically! That’s not capitalism, it’s imperialism!
Imho, the main blocker for buisines in Sweden is Sole proprietorship (Enskild firma) taxation. After the grace period it is fucking 55% of the income.
Imagine working for the whole year, and then government takes MORE THAN A HALF, of what you have earned.
It is outrageous, honestly, and prevents a lot of positive development in the country.
Oh fuck off, 55% is even low for the level of societal support the country has. Imagine having your labour sucked dry by a trust fund baby cunt and then while you’re taxed fairly the trust fund baby barely pays taxes through fiscal engineering.
We need the 28th regime asap, but I am afraid the fucking national states will block it in their endless small-minded “protection of their suverenity”

How can something be optional and harmonizing?
From the German page:
Does the EU define that regime doesn’t have negative connotations? This is a bad sign.
