On Wednesday 28 June, from 15:30 to 16:30, the Members of the ECON Committee held a structured dialogue with Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni in order to discuss ongoing and upcoming priorities of the Commission in the area of taxation.
The topics included the progress of the EU implementation of the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework agreement on a two-pillar global tax reform as well as the ongoing negotiations on recently adopted tax proposals, such as the revision of the directive on the exchange of tax information (DAC8), the VAT in the digital age package or the directive laying down rules to prevent the misuse of shell entities for tax purposes (UNSHELL). Upcoming proposals such as the initiative to address the role of tax enablers (SAFE) or a new EU common system for the avoidance of double taxation and prevention of tax abuse in the area of withholding taxes (FASTER) were also discussed.
