Articoli Correlati: tax planning

The European Commission has indicated seven Member States where “aggressive tax planning” is possible. More precisely, these are: Belgium, Cyprus, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands and Hungary. These are the nations of the European Union where it is all too easy to conduct “aggressive” tax planning practices. According to the Commissioner for Economic Affairs Pierre Moscovici, who commented on the data during the presentation of the annual report in Brussels on the economic and social situation of the Member States, the multinationals know this well. Furthermore, Moscovici stressed that “these practices can undermine the fairness and the conditions of equality in the single market and increase the taxpayers’ tax burden” in an unfair manner.
