This report is going in the right direction, but its observations do not go far enough. There is no reference to European tax havens (Andorra, Monaco, Lichtenstein and so on) nor to the European Parliament’s desire to be rid of them. These European tax havens are, though, providing protection for those evading tax and they have to be tackled.
There is no reference to the problem of shell companies which set up fake headquarters in a country in which, in the end, they have only a letter box, with the aim of avoiding taxes and the tax rules of the country in which they actually carry out their business.
There is no reference to the inadequate resources allocated to the fight against tax fraud and tax evasion, although these are the only effective tools against evasion. Without adequate resources, nothing can be resolved.
There is no denunciation of the mechanisms whereby companies with headquarters in Europe which make most of their profits abroad are relieved of part of their tax burden (
), an arrangement which allows companies such as Total to pay almost no tax in France. Tax dumping, tax evasion and tax fraud continue to hold sway in the European Union and even have a bright future in front of them."@en1
