The European Commission plans to publish an "Action Plan to fight tax evasion and make taxation simple and easy" in summer 2020. This action plan will include initiatives to combat tax fraud, to facilitate compliance with the tax rules and to further exploit new technical developments and the increasing digitalisation in order to achieve these goals. As part of an overall solution, the European Tax Adviser Federation (ETAF) would like to draw attention to the specific function of tax advisers in Europe, because this profession is situated directly at the interface between the taxpayers and the respective Member State.
