Tax unification - would in fact start with Fiscal Harmonisation.. That is to say - tax rates can be different, but the underlying calculations how to calculate income and expenses would be harmonised across the Member States of EU.
We are generations away from Tax Unification, if it ever happens...
Fiscal Harmonisation - more like it, though save some global seismic event - still a generation into the future.

This is partly about showing how only a big powerful EU can stand up to companies like Apple, whereas small countries like Ireland have to beg for tax.
