TADEUS 2019 Plenary meeting – Helsinki
In April 2018, the EU economy and finance ministers agreed to commence discussions on how to foster cooperation between tax administrations further to a series of Commission reports revealing the loopholes in the administrative cooperation.
Following this, the Heads of Tax Administration and the Commission decided - at the meeting in Thessaloniki in June 2018 and during the G28 meeting in Vienna in September 2018 - to create TADEUS – the Tax Admin-istration EU Summit. The Heads of tax administrations in the EU Member States and the Commission met in Helsinki, on 17-18 September 2019, for the first TADEUS Plenary meeting.
The Heads endorsed the findings of the project on ‘Digital and data’ project – on reporting re-quirements for the sharing and gig economy - led by Finland.
The Heads equally agreed to continue working on the projects “Enabling building trust and ensuring compliance” led by Sweden and ‘HR Management Agility and Readiness model’ led by Greece. Further work will be launched on strengthening EUROFISC, the EU’s network to combat VAT fraud, and on a new project led by France on monitoring the performance of ad-ministrative cooperation in the EU.
The Heads believe that strengthening and deepening cooperation among their organisations will not only bring operational benefits for each tax administration but will also increase tax fairness in the Internal Market.
