# Common system of financial transaction tax

European Parliament procedure 2011/0261(CNS) (CNS - Consultation procedure, 7th term, committee BUDG / DEVE / ECON / IMCO). Stage: Procedure lapsed or withdrawn. 243 committee amendments tabled by 60 Members between 2012-03-01 and 2012-03-09.

## What the amendments focus on

This dossier concerns a proposed directive for a common system of financial transaction tax (FTT). The amendments debate the FTT's purpose of making the financial sector contribute to crisis costs and curbing risky activity, its scope (financial institutions, transactions, issuance and residence principles, minimum rates), and the use of revenue—as an EU own resource, for development aid and climate finance, or kept by national treasuries; several instead reject the proposal.
