Key points

The European Parliament faces significant obstacles in monitoring tax cooperation due to a lack of access to data from the Commission and Member States.
While information exchange has increased, there are major loopholes regarding luxury assets like yachts, private jets, and high-value art.
The initial rules for exchanging information on specific income categories have been expanded through several updates to include financial accounts and tax rulings.
The effectiveness of tax cooperation is heavily dependent on how well Member States implement anti-money laundering rules.
