SDOE is now checking whether or not the deposits in these accounts was taxed before leaving Greece.
And if that wasn't enough, Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem told his parliament that he too had informed Greek authorities about hundreds of Greek yachts anchored in the ports in the Netherlands.
Dutch tax authorities will provide details of hundreds of Greek yachts anchored in ports in the Netherlands, Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem told parliament Wednesday, in the latest effort to boost tax income there.
The comments came as the Dutch parliament debated its support for the next tranche of international aid to the debt-plagued EU member, where tax evasion has been a hot topic since the euro zone crisis erupted.
Dijsselbloem said he “immediately looked into this” after it was raised by members of the parliamentary opposition. “We informed the Greek authorities about this so they can levy taxes.”
“This kind of information is critical to enable the Greeks to impose taxes,” he said. No financial details of the yachts were revealed by the minister (Reuters)
