Tax Co-ordination in Europe: Assessing the First Years of the EU-Savings Taxation Directive

Thomas Hemmelgarn () and Gaëtan Nicodème

No 09-023.RS, Working Papers CEB from ULB -- Universite Libre de Bruxelles

Abstract: This paper reviews the economic effects of the EU Savings Taxation Directive. The Directive aims at enabling taxation of foreign interest payments received by individuals in accordance with the rules of their State of residence. The data suggest that the Directive, which is based on automatic information exchange, has not led to major shifts in international savings. However, this result has to be interpreted with caution since the available data is scarce and not always conclusive.
