The EU's Anti Tax Avoidance Directive will come into force on 1 January 2019: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/company-tax/anti-tax-avoidance-package/anti-tax-avoidance-directive_en

It also has plans to clamp down on tax havens and money laundering: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/sep/15/uk-overseas-territories-eu-tax-crackdown-economic-sanctions

It's good to see France is applying the law - so often our governments cozy up to these oligarchs because money.

(You could also see the measures above as being among the reasons why billionaires are so keen on Brexit.)

Can Europe successfully go after the Russian oligarchs and Putin? Irish_Dem Nov 2017 #14
I can't see why not, if they visit or have holdings in European countries. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #15
Thank you for your reply Denzil. Very interesting comments. Irish_Dem Nov 2017 #16
In some ways the EU's federal nature could help. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #19
