- Wealth taxation, including net-wealth, capital and exit taxes
  The study aims to provide further information regarding the uptake and economic consequences of introducing wealth-related taxes. The purpose of the study is to shed further light firstly into recurrent wealth related taxes by (i) reviewing the conditions for the implementation of a net wealth tax and its consequences, to provide a detailed literature review on recurrent capital taxes in the EU and analyse their economic consequences; and secondly (ii) to provide an overview of existing non-recurrent wealth related taxes, namely, by providing an overview of capital taxes, inheritance and gift taxes and the existing exit tax provisions in the field of personal income taxation (including relevant statutory references), and how these interrelate with and complement the legal framework of taxing net wealth and capital gains. The study builds on previous research work mapping wealth taxes and estimating the consequences of their introduction. It is structured along two parts comprised of two and three workstreams respectively, related to the topics outlined above. Part 1 – Recurrent taxation, Workstream 1 – Net wealth taxes Part 1 – Recurrent taxation, Workstream 2 – Capital taxes Part 2 – Non-recurrent taxation, Workstream 3 – Capital taxes Part 2 – Non-recurrent taxation, Workstream 4 – Inheritance and gift taxes Part 2 – Non-recurrent taxation, Workstream 5 – Exit taxes

The Migration Partnership Facility (MPF) is an EU-funded programme that is implemented by ICMPD. The MPF supports the preparation and implementation of partnership initiatives supporting more effective migration management and dialogue by providing targeted, flexible and tailor-made assistance (mostly through grants) to the EU’s priority countries covered by various funding instruments included under the MPF.

The overall objective and purpose of the project is to carry out a mapping of 23 EU Member State legal pathways and to update the existing mapping for 4 others (Estonia, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal) for labour migration and mobility to feed into the MPF’s work to foster an enabling environment for partnership and knowledge management in relation to labour migration.

Within the project “Provision of Research Services to carry out a Mapping of EU Member State Legal Pathways for Labour Migration and Mobility” the consortium members will:

Conduct a mapping outlining existing/available legal pathways and labour market priorities of 23 EU destination countries for labour migrants which experience labour shortages and have shown some interest in developing partnerships with third countries on labour migration: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.
Update, as necessary, the Phase I case studies and summaries prepared in 2022 looking at Estonia, Poland, Portugal and the Netherlands.
Produce or update individual national case studies compiling data and knowledge on existing legal frameworks in these 27 countries that would clarify pathways available at present for talent from outside the EU – using the same look/feel as for Phase I and be professionally formatted.
Produce individual national summery reports (max. 8 pages) of 23 new countries and update 4 existing summaries – using the same look/feel as that of Phase I and should be professionally formatted.
Produce a horizontal synthesis report and policy brief that links findings of Phase I and Phase II and draws policy recommendations in relation to current EU policy context (max. 8 pages). The document should align with the Phase I look/feel and be professionally formatted.
Produce a summary article (blog post) featuring main highlights/insights gained from the mappings and policy brief and pointing to political relevance and next steps (max. 2 pages)
Produce a professional visualisation for each of the 23 legal pathways using the same style and robust modelling as that produced for the Phase I.
Develop a webpage/application for hosting on the MPF website that would allow visualisation and comparison of pathways between 27 EU MS to accompany the reports.
