The agreement of the Anti Tax Avoidance Directive in 2016 was an important step and demonstrates the Government’s commitment to fighting tax avoidance.

All Member States are required to apply these measures, with the UK having already implemented many of them. This will help ensure a consistent approach to tackling tax avoidance.

The UK will continue to engage with our international partners, including within the EU, to further tackle these issues.
