EU to remove UAE, Tunisia from tax haven list

BRUSSELS, Jan 18 (KUNA) -- EU finance ministers during their meeting in Brussels next Tuesday are expected to remove eight of the 17 jurisdictions which the EU had listed last December as tax havens.
EU sources told journalists Thursday that Barbados, Grenada, South Korea, Macao SAR, Mongolia, Panama, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates will be taken off from the EU's list of non-cooperative jurisdictions in taxation matters.
This follows commitments made by these jurisdictions since the list was published on December 5, 2017.
Letters signed at the political level have been assessed, and EU member states agree that the commitments made justify removing these eight jurisdictions from the list, said the source speaking on condition af anonymity. (end) nk.sd
