If you are a German dentist and have an account in Liechtenstein to pay less to the IRS, beware. If you run a multinational company that has chosen to "aggressive tax planning" (one of the best euphemisms of recent times) to pay 1% tax where it suits you, you should also be aware: the Twenty go for you. Always put safeguards in such ads, but the Heads of State and Government of the EU launched Wednesday a clear political signal in the fight against tax evasion. The Union unveiled a package of measures with an ambitious timetable and, above all, a strong message, alleging that the cracks should be sealed, it can not be allowed to escape a billion euros a year for sewer system , least of which is falling.
The most striking measures are twofold. On one hand, the automatic exchange of accounting information: end of bank secrecy for people, for backgrounds and all types of companies, to be applied across the EU and countries like Switzerland before the end of the year (if the calendars, which in this case are indicative met). Furthermore, the implementation of the directive to combat corporate accounting engineering, which will also come before 2014. Both proposals are to address the more apparent by cracks leaking billions of euros to the treasury.
"This is an unprecedented crisis and that makes it possible to implement measures that only months ago were a pipe dream," said Council President Herman Van Rompuy. Chancellor Angela Merkel was more restrained and described as "important progress" Council conclusions, "after years without progress". "Impunity is over," said the fanfare of the big occasions French President François Hollande, sharply pointed after the scandal involving his former Minister of Finance, who for 20 years had an undeclared account at a Swiss bank.

At the beginning of the crisis, back in 2008, and the same statements were grandly. It ended in smoke. The leaders in Brussels today swore that this time is different, so that citizens may have, on this occasion, an act of faith to Europe. The Twenty argue that this crisis is so hard and left as empty public coffers that these measures are essential. U.S. has been doing exactly the same thing that makes things easier. And finally, the public no longer take any more scandals, more CD with bankers and ministers among fraudsters, more information about the statement comes out to return to Apple in Spain as an employee who earns 30,000 euros a year pays a average rate of 18% in income tax.
The Great Recession opens the way to new forms of politics: is running the financial transaction tax, the Union Bank and now that package against tax evasion, after decades in which governments are specialized in looking the other way. "Maybe the calendars end up being slower. Perhaps the end result is something more modest. But there is an undeniable political momentum around the world that the EU is seeking to capitalize "Community sources said. The outcome document is sufficiently explicit that, despite the long list of failures of the recent past, last night eurócra-tas will ensure that the approved plan is a kind of fraud in every way, with a couple of outstanding new .
Presented in June Brussels directive that ensures the automatic exchange of information for all types of income. That is the settlement for bank secrecy: the estates have real time information yields in other countries through any investment vehicle. Austria and Luxembourg have historically blocked that step, but are left without arguments: Brussels has a mandate to extend this measure to Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Andorra and San Marino, traditionally competed with those two countries. The Twenty ensure that there is "consensus" in light of the agreement, Austria and Luxembourg dissociate (in principle) the green light to the policy of saving pacts with Switzerland and company. Still, it is possible that the point of the agreement suffer delays and implemented only partially, according to sources. Much of the progress is attributable to the spillover effect of activism in Washington, which has passed a law requiring international banks to provide information on their U.S. customers or 30% withholding apply.
In addition, the Commission will present before the end of the year a directive on aggressive tax planning and relocation benefits. Both the OECD and international fora (G-8 and G-20) are on the same track. Apple, Google and other multinationals are in the public eye for such practices. There are still a couple of additional measures: the EU adopted in June a mechanism for quick action against VAT fraud, and undertakes to revise the directive on money laundering.
