New Tax system?
Oh, dear what will the next great thing the 'EU Think Tanks' think of next for generating coffers? 
But if Brussels thinks of this now, how much behind the drag curve will Prudence Brown be to dip into this idea?

No tax is the only good tax
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm......................I believe I already pay 17.5% tax on the text messages I send. Another egregious little scam called VAT I believe!
"Exchanges between countries have ballooned, so everyone would understand that the money to finance the EU should come from the benefits engendered by the EU," Lamassoure said
OK guys and gals list the benefits that have been engendered by the EU and suggest ways this tax on e-mails would be collected

The benefits of joining the EEC? Well, let's see......
Nope, I give up. I'd vote for withdrawal now if a serious political party (remember those?) included it in their manifesto.
Undemocratic, bureaucratic, expensive, corrupt......any institution that could employ Mandelson must be crap.
OK, rant over. I have a dozen thirsty friends coming round to watch me cook on my gas (yeh, I know it's gay) Weber in the rain. I'd better get weaving and sweep the patio to remove the bottle caps and corks from last time.

And we pay tax on our broadband connection. But how can they tax a message sent to my Gmail account (a .com, US regd co) from an address out of EU?

I'm pissed off that I indirectly fund the EU's bloated, inefficient, corrupt, anti-democratic, outdated, unfair, illogical, counterproductive, usurptive functions as it is.
What the EU conveniently forgets is that it is, first and foremost, a political organisation. Ordering me to pay tax to it directly is about as fair as asking me to pay tax to support the Labour party. If this levy goes ahead, how can we be sure that the EU won't start taxing us directly to support its vile fisheries policy? Or its absurd defence pretensions? Or its attempts to brainwash every child in Europe into thinking that the EU - and not their home nation - is something to be proud of?

I think a tax on e-mails would be very handy, especially if the military gets dicked to pay more because the usual dimwit signed our contract (see rented phone line contract for details). Immediately after the tax is introduced we'll magic up some kind of cost-saving measure similar to when some brightspark, shocked by the cost of people calling the MoD operator, just disabled most people's ability to dial it! - sheer brilliance!
I suggest an e-mail application process that takes 2-3 days and requires 4 signatures from around camp. Hopefully then most people just won't bother.
The benefit?
Look in your inbox at work...you'll see.
