Tax subcommittee delegation to visit London
Three Members of the European Parliament Subcommittee on tax matters will travel to London from 19 to 20 June to discuss tax with British stakeholders and counterparts.
The delegation, led by the subcommittee Chair Paul Tang (S&D, NL), will meet key political decision-makers and stakeholders to discuss developments in the area of international taxation and the relation between the EU and the UK in this field. At the end of the delegation, Mr Tang will hold a meeting with the press.
The delegation will meet with members of the Public Accounts Committee, the Treasury Committee and the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Anti-Corruption and Responsible Tax of the House of Commons, as well as HM Treasury Minister Baroness Joanna Penn and stakeholders from civil society, professional associations and academia.
The discussions will focus on the implementation of the OECD/G20 international tax reform, UK efforts to combat tax evasion and avoidance, and the role of intermediaries and International Financial Centres in the fight against tax evasion and tax avoidance.
Discussions will also be about tax policies in the UK post-Brexit and the impact on the EU, administrative cooperation, transparency rules, windfall profit taxes, the future of financial service taxes and the implementation of the Windsor Framework in the area of VAT and excise duties.
The other two MEPs on the delegation are Rasmus Andresen (Greens, DE) and Gunnar Beck (ID, DE).
