This resolution sets out some positive proposals on combating tax evasion. However, saying that there needs to be tighter control to prevent the use of tax havens is an empty statement, which does nothing to call their existence into question. What is necessary is the urgent abolition of tax havens; territories throughout the world that have seen a progressive increase in ‘financial transactions’ in recent years. The network of tax havens must be demolished and dismantled by preventing, sanctioning and taxing these financial transactions. We also reject the idea that all bilateral agreements established by the Member States should be authorised by the European Commission. Moreover, we reject the introduction of the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base, which will start taxing companies according to the results of applying the designated factors to the group’s profits, which may not – and, the majority of the time, will not – be the same as the company’s real profit. We argue that a company benefiting from income abroad, provided that it is in fact managed from a Member State, should be taxed according to that same Member State’s rules; this would safeguard Member State tax sovereignty."@en1
