LuxLeaks, SwissLeaks in Panamski dokumenti so razkrili pokvarjen davčni sistem, v katerem se velike korporacije in bogati posamezniki izmikajo izkoriščanju pravnih vrzeli, iskanju najugodnejših jurisdikcij in skrivanju denarja v offshore lokacijah za davčni damping. Te sumljive prakse ustvarjajo velike neenakosti v naših družbah in izčrpavajo javno blagajno.
V Evropskem parlamentu smo bili gonilna sila številnih preiskovalnih organov. Ponosni smo, da bo novi pododbor za davke, ki je začel delovati septembra 2020, hkrati pes čuvaj in ljudski forum za davčno pravičnost.
Preberite več o naši neutrudni kampanji za davčno pravičnost:


Zavzemali se bomo za davčno pravičnost, tako da bomo z davkom na finančne transakcije (FTT)prisilili finančni balon, da plača svoj delež, z davkom na okolju prijazne davke pa bomo prisilili onesnaževalce, da plačajo svoj delež.

Proti davčnim utajam, izogibanju davkom in nelojalni konkurenci se bomo borili s prizadevanji za minimalno efektivno davčno stopnjo v višini 18 %, z reformo seznama EU z davčnimi oazami in politike EU o škodljivih davčnih praksah ter z izzivi pravičnih davkov za digitalni svet.

Zagotovili bomo, da bo evropski davčni sistem pripravljen na prihodnost, in sicer tako, da bomo raziskali možnost opuščanja obdavčitve dela in razvili davčne sisteme, ki bodo spodbujali enakost spolov in pravičen pristop k obdavčitvi premoženja (vključno z vseevropskim davkom na nepremičnine), ter se s progresivnimi oblikami obdavčitve borili proti vse večjim neenakostim v dohodkih in premoženju.

At the beginning of the mandate, the European Commission announced plans to reform the tax framework for the financial sector. In the absence of an agreement on the financial transaction tax, and in view of the extraordinary profits that the sector has generated in recent years – largely due to interest rates policies – it is crucial to find solutions that will ensure a fair contribution from the financial sector.

The current rules still exhibit significant inconsistencies, such as the fact that airlines are exempt from taxes on kerosene, while workers face additional taxes on their daily commutes. We must hold major polluters, like the maritime and aviation sectors, accountable and ensure they contribute their fair share. At the same time, we must ensure the support needed to boost ecological transport options.
The S&Ds will keep pushing for the reform of the Energy Taxation Directive to align energy product taxation with sustainability goals, promote clean technologies and eliminate outdated exemptions and reduced rates that currently incentivise the use of fossil fuels.

We will continue to advocate for a high-level commitment to reform the way the EU makes tax decisions. There should be no room for national tax vetoes, such as those blocking efforts to address EU tax havens.
Despite the EU having an open market, the EU Treaties require EU finance ministers to decide unanimously on tax reforms at European level. This means that any single country, including EU tax havens, can block vital tax reforms – and they have done so in the past.
To make meaningful progress on tax justice at EU level, we must shift to qualified majority voting on certain tax-related issues. The European Commission should propose a clear roadmap to achieve this reform.
