The European Union’s (EU) antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager says she’s asked European governments for information on tax rulings, pledging to continue a crackdown on potentially unfair corporate tax deals.
Governments will have to update their status on how they use tax rulings, following up on a similar sweep in 2014 where the EU gathered information on how many corporate tax declarations were
in force.
EU investigations that have demanded back-tax payments from Apple Inc, Amazon.com Inc and others have
been based on these tax rulings that officials say gave some companies an unfair
advantage.
