Fighting tax evasion: European Commission proposes widest scope of automatic exchange of information within the EU

Brussels - 12 June 2013 -
The European Commission has proposed extending the automatic exchange of information between EU tax administrations, as part of the intensified fight against tax evasion.

Under the proposal, dividends, capital gains, all other forms of financial income and account balances, would be added to the list of categories which are subject to automatic information exchange within the EU. This paves the way for the EU to have the most comprehensive system of automatic information exchange in the world.
