On 15 September 2022, ETAF sent a critical statement to FISC MEPs on the study they requested on the “Regulation of Intermediaries, including tax advisers, in the EU/Member States and best practices from inside and outside the EU”.
From the European Tax Adviser Federation (ETAF)’s view, the study shows some deficits in terms of quality and representativity. It is of utmost importance that the findings of the study are not misinterpreted, especially at a time when the European Commission is reflecting on how to better tackle the role of enablers who facilitate tax evasion and aggressive tax planning.
