This report examines the EU's role in the global tax system and finds that loopholes still exist that allow tax dodging by multinational corporations. While some transparency measures have been introduced, the public remains in the dark about taxes paid by corporations in different countries. Leaked information has become the main source of public data on tax avoidance. The EU took a hard line against developing country participation in global tax decision making. Overall, the report concludes the EU tax system still enables widespread tax avoidance and more reforms are needed for a fairer global tax system.
