Formulary apportionment in the European Union—future research agenda

The aim of the paper is to identify the relevant prior research focused on the Formulary Apportionment methodology in the European Union, to explore the current literature and develop directions for future research. Reflecting upon the announced European Commission’s Proposal for new framework for business taxation and the foreseeable upswing of academic discussion focused on the formulary apportionment methodology this paper represents the first systematic literature review on this topic. The study identifies eight main thematic clusters, provides an interpretative framework and suggests valuable future research directions within each thematic cluster as well as general future research agenda.
