Summary: Supports EU countries and partners in strengthening taxation systems, combating tax fraud, and improving tax law implementation through cooperation and innovation.
The Fiscalis programme is a European Union initiative designed to enhance the operation of taxation systems within the EU and associated countries. It fosters collaboration among national tax administrations, enabling them to jointly develop and operate trans-European IT systems, exchange expertise, and establish networks of officials. The programme’s priorities include fighting tax fraud, tax evasion, and aggressive tax planning, while supporting the implementation of EU tax law and reducing administrative burdens for tax authorities and taxpayers.
Fiscalis funds a broad range of activities, such as collaborative projects, IT system development, joint audits, training and capacity-building, studies, innovation pilots, and communication actions. The programme aims to boost the efficiency and effectiveness of tax administrations, promote fair competition, and protect the financial interests of the EU and its Member States.
