@HuubHabets @LSchreinemacher @Refugees @UNHCR_Nederland Dat is oa uw belastingbijdrage. De Nederlandse kiezers hebben het kabinet een blanco cheque gegeven. Met dank aan de Tweede Kamer. Dat had natuurlijk nooit gemogen. Want de rekening komt echt wel…

@lexhoogduin Het is beter de Balkan niet aan China en Rusland over te laten.

De toegangspassen van de Tweede Kamer zijn gehackt. Vanochtend bij @BNR riep ik de Kamer op om de dreiging van spyware heel serieus te nemen.

Many thanks for a great hearing @StasFB! I much appreciate your willingness to engage and look at efforts and effects in the fight against tax avoidance!

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) do 13 okt 2022, 09:57

Horrible news. Hatred kills. But there are always politicians who fan homophobia for electoral reasons, under the cloak of “values”. It is despicable.

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:54

Monitoring money flows to low tax jurisdictions is very important to evaluate if policy is successful. Role also for European Parliament. Nice to change the law, but is it really working? Asks van Rij. I want to start this debate also in Brussels and with NGOs.

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:50

Netherlands is now putting up boundaries for outflowing payments to tax havens. We want it to go to 0. But is it done then? No, we need to work together in Brussels to end all harmful flows

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:50

Countries need to act themselves. We are open for criticism if we don't do the right things still, says van Rij. Keeps everybody sharp. Doing this for our citizens. We ask them to pay tax. Tax moral is high and we want to keep it like that.

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:50

van Rij says we need to look both inside and outside the EU. Tremendous amounts of money going through London. Good that @EP_Taxation engages with them.

Hungary hijacks decision making process, says van Rij

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:43

One way or another EU always make progress, notes van Rij. Need to try unanimity. It's there for a reason. But to protect internal market, we could discuss majority voting or enhanced cooperation if unanimity doesn't work. Worst in EU would be to implement unilaterally.

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:40

Now question by @GillesBoyer. Minimum tax accepted by all Member States, yet blocked for very different reasons. This discredited the unanimity process. How to respond?

Dorien Rookmaker (OA-NI) do 13 okt 2022, 09:37

@NPORadio1 @D66 @Sneller @denieuwsbv Be careful what you wish for…

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:37

Member states support business not just through tax, but also through subsidies. Should address both. Need to be transparent on both, according to vRij.

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:36

"Tax harmonization makes life easier for countries and companies", says van Rij. Minimum tax helps, fair distribution of tax helps. In the EU it shouldn't be about tax competition. Race to the bottom harms us all

@SantAlfred: "Countries have different endowments, so some tax competition is important to level the playing field. What is your take on that?"

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:32

Rules, including those on shell companies. shouldn't be too complicated. That opens the door for loopholes. Dutch have recommendations to simplify the text.

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:30

"We have a paradigm shift. We are not in the EU to compete on tax. We need to think more broadly about Europe".

vRij also awaits BEFIT proposal, he says. Good news. Implementation will mean one common rule book for EU corporate taxation.

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:27

"Pillar 1 & pillar 2 are pivotal", says vRij. Minimum tax or 15% is more successful if more countries implement it. Had hope for unanimous support in Council. If not possible, alternatives are open. Qualified majority is open for discussion for the Dutch. Need to achieve results.

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:25

Lidia Pereira (@lidiafopereira): "How can you maintain an open economy while implementing OECD pillar 1 and 2? What concerns do you have with Unshell? And finally, on exchange of tax information? When will you finalize implementation of EU law in this area?"

"Pace of legislation from EU has been high. Raises the question whether there is sufficient capacity to implement", says van Rij

Dutch tax authorities are involved at point of drafting.

In december 2020 trok ik in Europa al aan de bel over deze scanners en de naïeve opstelling in verschillende Europese landen.@EenVandaag maakte er destijds een uitzending over. In strategische sectoren moeten we meer gaan kiezen voor "Made in Europe" (2/2) twitter.com/tbwberendsen/s­…­

Met iedere Chinese scanner op een strategische plek, zoals in onze grensbewaking, vergroten we onze afhankelijkheid van China. We werken aan Europees industriebeleid om deze afhankelijkheid te verminderen. Afgelopen zaterdag reageerde ik op de voorpagina van @FD_Nieuws (1/2)

Also on tax advisors. They came up with their own code of conduct, also being more transparent, which is EU legislation. E.g. in noticing aggressive tax schemes.

"In 10 years time, the climate has changed" says van Rij.
Now time for international cooperation. OECD and the EU. Netherlands warmly supports EU law against shell companies.

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:17

The EU took strong action. Legislation is good, but will it really work? And how do you measure effect? This is what Dutch Central Bank will look at: how much money ends up in Low Tax Jurisdictions? Flow went down from 38bn to 6bn. Needs to go to 0. Strong ambitious from van Rij!

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:13

Netherlands is a small, open economy, says van Rij.
Netherlands wanted to avoid double taxation of companies in Dutch economy and promote investments through tax treaties.

'We have achieved results but not there yet' Must also work internationally.

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:10

We now engage with these member states. Also with the Netherlands. Glad you are here Marnix van Rij (@StasFB). The fact you are here signals the change happening in the Netherlands.

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:08

Hope is that they then improve. Same with @Europarl_EN calling seven member states tax havens. They had, and still had, extremely large foreign direct investments. Often paper constructions to avoid tax: phantom investments.

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 13 okt 2022, 09:07

We started the exchange of view with Dutch Secretary of State van Rij. @Europarl_EN has always dared to be critical of member states, on rule of law, or taxation, but always in the hope of change.
