As part of an effort to cut down on tax evasion, the European Commission has set up a new initiative it is calling, the Platform for Tax Good Governance.
The committee will monitor member states’ progress in tackling aggressive tax planning and clamping down on tax havens, in line with the recommendations presented by the Commission last year. The goal of the platform is to ensure that real and effective action is taken by member states to address tax avoidance problems, within a coordinated EU framework, the Commission stated.
