Giving with one hand and taking with the other - CSOs urge European leaders to take further action against tax dodging
At the European level, the report – coordinated by the European Network on Debt and Development (Eurodad) – shows that much remains to be done. Tove Maria Ryding, Tax Coordinator at Eurodad, said: ”This week, we’re asking EU leaders to take the first step by making companies reveal to the public who their owners are, where they operate and what taxes they pay.
The second step is to ensure that the multinational companies pay their fair share of tax, both in the EU and in the rest of the world.”
She added: “For developing countries, tax dodging is especially devastating, with more money leaving their economies than what they receive in aid. While European citizens donate money to combat poverty in developing countries, multinational corporations with headquarters in Europe are making large profits in those same countries but many are avoiding their taxes. Until our governments put a stop to this, Europe is giving with one hand and taking with the other.”
