Abstract

The real estate transfer tax is a factor in the economic policy of the EU member states and even the EU as such.

A critical and comparative Meta-Analysis study of this heterogeneity is illustrative, provides practical information about the real estate transfer tax rates and testifies about the often overlooked inherent particularities and diversities of the EU member states, their laws and fiscal policies. The real estate transfer tax suggest that the EU and its policies and strategies, including Europe 2020, cannot crossed the Rubicon, represented by fiscal particularities generated by different legal, cultural, historical and other traditions and this is correct, except few countries.
