ABSTRACT
The article is dedicated to the erosion of the progressive tax system in the
European Union countries and its negative social consequences, especially for
newly transformed states. The study starts with presenting the process of approaching and retreating from progressive taxation. It discusses mutual relations
between the tax system model and tax revenue. The author considers also, why
the linear tax was introduced in some of the EU countries. The article concludes
with recommendations to initiate works on common fi scal policy of the European Union and of the member states.
