"While I welcomed many of the recommendations in this report, it also had certain limitations.
Tax avoidance is a problem with an international dimension, as demonstrated by LuxLeaks. Multinational corporations exploit national differences, mismatches and cross-border loopholes in order to avoid paying their fair share of tax, so the response must be international. The recommendations that I welcome in this report include setting up an EU public register of beneficial owners of companies and drawing up a tax havens blacklist. A code of conduct for banks and tax advisers and action against the abuse of patent boxes are also recommendations I support.
However, there were mentions in the non-legislative report of the planned Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base, which Sinn Féin is opposed to since we believe it will infringe the tax sovereignty of Member States. The report, in my view, also failed to take a strong stance politically on the role of Juncker and others in the LuxLeaks scandal. For these reasons, I did not vote in favour of the report, but abstained."@en1
