Belgian MEP, Marc Tarabella, a member of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, has asked the European Parliament to look into the unfair workings of the Gibraltar tax haven for online gambling companies.
He refered to Gibraltar as a tax haven and alleging that the UK outpost was engaged in unfair competition that was harming other EU members.
“In view of the fact that the Commission is currently working to combat tax evasion and tax havens, what action is it planning to take in respect of Gibraltar and the online gambling operators which have established themselves on the island in order to enjoy its tax breaks?” Mr Tarabella asked and “Are the Gibraltar-based online gambling companies not engaging in unfair competition against companies providing the same services in Member States which are not tax havens?”
