Exchange of tax information with the US

19.7.2016

Question for written answer E-005951-16
to the Commission
Rule 130
Julia Pitera (PPE)

During the debate on the interpretation of the law and other measures of a similar nature (5 July 2016) in the plenary chamber in Strasbourg, the rapporteur, Michael Theurer MEP, said that exchanges of tax information between the EU and US are often unilateral: the EU provides the US with information but receives nothing in return. The rapporteur gave the state of Delaware as an example.

1. Is this information factually correct? 2. Which other US states, besides Delaware, are not willing to exchange tax information?
