Brussels, 21/09/2011 (Agence Europe) - Representatives from the German and British finance ministries are expected to present to their counterparts from other member states meeting on Wednesday 21 September (as part of the Tax Policy Group), the agreements concluded by these two countries with Switzerland on 10 and 24 August this year on taxing assets invested by their residents in this country (EUROPE 10450). It was chaired by the commissioner responsible for fighting against fraud and the customs union, Algirdas Šemeta. This meeting is the fourth meeting of its kind since the group was launched in October 2010. It provides the opportunity to hold regular EU27 discussions, as part of its informal framework for major tax policy subjects (EUROPE 10235). Meeting participants are expected to discuss the impact of these controversial agreements from the ongoing discussions involving savings tax rules in the EU. They are also expected to continue the discussions already begun on environmental tax, taxing the financial sector and discussing other subjects such as: the definition of a common EU27 approach towards third countries that do not abide by the principles of good governance, the possible impact of e-commerce on corporation tax, VAT and customs duties.
