Will reform prove too taxing for the Platform for Tax Good Governance? | Corporate Europe Observatory

 On Thursday the Commission's department responsible for cracking down on
tax dodging, DG TAXUD, will host the third meeting of its Platform for
Tax Good Governance. The controversial Platform – key to implementing
Commissioner Šemeta's far-reaching plans, but packed full
of individuals representing the biggest tax dodgers and their
accountants – was supposed to be reviewed. As the infographic* produced
with Arbeiterkammer and ÖGB
shows, there are serious problems. Yet according to staff within DG
TAXUD the review – with no consultation of group members nor the public –
has finished and the same tax dodgers remain in the group.
