Countries emphasize the need to prevent "aggressive planning" to avoid taxes

"The end of the era of banking secrecy," as proclaimed former French Nicolas Sarkozy at the summit in London in 2009, has been an example of one of those phrases that lay round the G-20. And then the facts relativized. For, although rich and emerging countries pushed for tax havens more transparent, they raffled off the stake with the signing of bilateral agreements across more than one case, among them-whose effectiveness is not monitored then. At the summit in Los Cabos (Mexico), which closed on Tuesday, less progress was aired, but of some importance.
The G-20 last year signed a convention to facilitate the automatic exchange of tax information between them. As reflected in the final communiqué of the summit in Los Cabos, now advocate "firmly" because "all jurisdictions"-which includes tax havens to sign this agreement. And charge the OECD to assess the "effectiveness of information exchange" tax in practice.
Also in the tax area, representatives of rich and emerging countries stressed the need to prevent "the erosion of tax bases" and "aggressive plan" for companies to avoid paying taxes. The G-20 says will "carefully" the OECD work in this area.
The club encourages industrialized countries pilot programs in several countries to identify these aggressive practices in multinational companies that take advantage of the privileged tax treatment given in each country to corporate vehicles whose original motivation is to facilitate investment attraction. Many multinationals, such as Google or Exxon, move money between these corporate vehicles in different countries to lower taxes to a minimum, a circuit that includes jurisdictions almost always opaque.

In these pilot experiments, the OECD reports that have been substantial increases in revenue (3,500 million in the U.S., 1,500 million in Italy) to put a limit on such tax practices. "These initiatives do not end the secrecy of tax havens, but along with others such as the U.S. decision to identify account holders, represent steps in the right direction," said Susana Ruiz, Oxfam.
The tax on financial transactions has been another of those initiatives that have generated a heated debate on the summits of the G-20. The proposal, championed by NGOs and academics as a way to limit the more speculative operations, while providing a way to raise money to tackle global challenges such as poverty or climate change, broke through in the statement of the previous appointment world leaders in Cannes (France) at the end of last year. In Los Cabos there have been references in the text, but a relevant ad. Following the summit, French President, François Hollande, said the tax on financial transactions "shall enter into force" throughout 2013.
After three years of debate, France and Germany did the G-20 recognized in late 2011 that the rate of financial transactions could be a useful way to discourage speculation and to provide resources development policies, always neglected in the budget state. To overcome the opposition of UK or U.S., was left to the discretion of each country to adopt this measure.
Nor is there consensus in the EU, a group of European countries, including Spain also, debate in recent months the activation of a process of enhanced cooperation that would implement the tax in the countries that so choose, provided to join at least nine countries. Hollande was assumed on Tuesday that quorum has been reached. And the process will start soon, as also suggested on Monday the European Commission President Jose Manuel Durao Barroso.
"While Germany and France agree, we can start quickly with the support of other countries," said Hollande.
