The European Commission (EC) today unveiled an action plan that will allow the EU more cohesive fighting force and fraud and tax evasion, that waste at twenty one billion euros per year or 2,000 euros per citizen.
European Commissioner for Taxation and Anti-Fraud, Algirdas Semeta, stressed that it is a "scandalous waste of public revenue, particularly in times of crisis", making the fight against these economic crimes "more urgent".
But this battle can not be waged alone and the strategy should include "a strong and cohesive position" of the European Union and the combination of forces at national, European and global to succeed, Lithuanian commissioner stressed presenting his initiative.
The action plan includes 34 measures and two recommendations that, taken together, create "a new EU position based on that tax competition in the EU can not open doors to evaders and fraudsters.
It is also a stronger position against third countries to facilitate such crimes and the practice of going in search of better conditions to circumvent the treasury at home, what is known as "tax-shopping".
Finally, it is to force companies to "pay their fair share" to develop their business in the single market, said Semeta.
In his two recommendations, the EC encourages member countries to take "immediate and coordinated" on urgent problems.
The first provides for the adoption in the EU beyond the current international measures-from a position of strength against tax havens.
By defining common criteria, the EC urges Member States to identify those havens and include them in a "blacklist" nationals.
The second addresses the issue of aggressive tax planning, so the EC proposes different ways to correct the technicalities and loopholes that some firms use to avoid paying their fair share.
The text urges Member States to strengthen their agreements to avoid double taxation that may result in a complete absence of taxation and adopt to combat abusive practices common general rule allowing tax based on real economic activities and aside any artificial arrangement that is intended to avoid them.
The Twenty may seek competitive tax systems as long as they do so openly and transparently, Semeta said, adding that the problems come when designing schemes artificially in order to "steal tax bases or encourage aggressive planning".
The commissioner said the EU has an instrument to ensure fair tax competition: the code of conduct on corporate taxes in which one works and which allows Member States to assess the practices of other countries and regimes require corrections tax if they are harmful.
The EC intends to expand its scope to include therein special tax regimes for the richest.
In the action plan include initiatives such as the adoption of a code of the taxpayer, the creation of a tax identification number of the EU, the review of the anti-abuse provisions in key European directives and creating common guidelines for tracking money flows.
To ensure that the desired effect is achieved, the EC will control instruments and asset management mechanisms that maintain the pace in the fight against tax evasion and tax fraud.
In order to ensure sound fiscal governance, it will also create a new platform for monitoring the implementation of recommendations in the Member States.
