Sweden came under fire on the 7 May 2014 for blocking a political agreement among EU finance ministers that would allow closing a loophole costing European taxpayers millions of euros. Campaigners called for a swift resolution of the deadlock, which stopped the expected approval of a compromise brokered by the Greek Presidency of the European Union at ministerial meeting on the 6 May 2014. The deal would have split the revised Parent-Subsidiary Directive in two, allowing member states to slam shut a loophole on hybrid loan arrangements without agreeing to a hotly debated general anti-tax abuse rule. All EU tax law requires unanimous support from member states to be passed, forcing the split. |
