This is one of the things I want to see in the rest of Europe too. Still hope that we'll see a EU wide tax and commerce union leading into a unified system that includes the best from every EU member.

Also liking the sentiment that people want to have some kind of confirmation that everyone pays a similar level of taxes :-)

Would it not be more likely that we Scandinavians would have to use the mainstream system? I'm not Norwegian, but my nation Sweden does this similarly.

If we accept giving our internal revenue services to the EU, I very much doubt that we will be able to keep this sort of thing, such as the principle of things being public (sv: offentlighetsprincipen).

For reasons like this (giving up what is unique about our culture for the mainstream continental one) I can't help but be sceptic of further involvement with European political unity, and am anticipating that Brits of 10 years from now will be satisfied with their decision to leave.
