New EU Tax Panel Chair Takes Aim at Avoidance Schemes

Description

Italian economist Pasquale Tridico, newly elected chair of the European Parliament's Subcommittee on Tax Matters, has some fresh ideas to curb tax avoidance, which he says will be one of his top priorities.

His committee can't propose legislation or substantially alter it in any way. But the panel has gained influence and exposure over time. Set up soon after the Panama Papers leaks, the committee has become a forum for politicians, companies, researchers, and activists to share opinions and research. And increasingly, policymakers are tuning in.

That's the momentum Tridico wants to maintain. He proposes a European registry of assets to limit tax avoidance and to help improve the effectiveness of the global minimum corporate tax rules. Tridico says such a ledger could help ensure the minimum tax rules have more bite.

Bloomberg reporter Saim Saeed spoke with Tridico about these plans for the subcommittee, and how they can impact European tax policy.
