“Luxembourg, one of the EU’s smallest but richest countries, has said No to a new law against tax evasion. The European Commission has been trying to update its anti-tax-fraud legislation for the past eight years. Its 2005 law forces member states to automatically exchange information on EU nationals’ deposits in other European Union countries. But it contains gaps on income received via investment funds, pensions, trusts and foundations. It also contains a big hole on Austria and Luxembourg. The two financial centres are exempt from automatic exchange until such time as five non-EU tax havens – Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino and Switzerland – agree to it as well.”
