Tax Avoidance: EU Law
(asked on 30th November 2017) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to ensure that the UK will benefit from the implementation of the EU's Tax Avoidance Directive in 2019.
This question was answered on 5th December 2017
The agreement of the Anti Tax Avoidance Directive in 2016 was an important step and demonstrates the Government’s commitment to fighting tax avoidance.
All Member States are required to apply these measures, with the UK having already implemented many of them. This will help ensure a consistent approach to tackling tax avoidance.
The UK will continue to engage with our international partners, including within the EU, to further tackle these issues.
