"Today I voted for this report which proposes a holistic approach as regards taxation policy across Member States, aimed at making the tax system fairer, and at cracking down on tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance.
The European Parliament’s Annual Tax Report put forward concrete proposals to tackle immoral tax practices – including measures to make companies report where they make their profits and where they pay their taxes, and an agreed Europe-wide definition of tax havens that would see them named and shamed.
However, I did vote against the recommendation that revenue from FTT should go to EU own resources, as Labour MEPs do not support the revenue being used in this way. I also abstained on paragraph 25, which called on the Commission to carefully study the options for the introduction of a minimum rate of corporation tax as a means of curbing damaging tax competition: whilst not against this in principle I have concerns that it would mean a significant shift in powers and stop the UK Treasury’s ability to set potentially lower corporate tax rates. I would need more detail before agreement."@en1
