New European tax observatory
The European Commission have launched the European Tax Observatory, a new research laboratory to assist in the EU’s fight against tax abuse. The Tax Observatory will support EU policymaking through research, analysis, and data-sharing.
The Tax Observatory will be fully independent in conducting its research, objectively informing policymakers, and suggesting initiatives that could help to better tackle tax evasion, tax avoidance and aggressive tax planning. The Tax Observatory’s research will complement the Commission’s considerations on the future of taxation in the EU, which will conclude in a Tax Symposium on the “EU tax mix on the road to 2050” in 2022.
