Side by side

Compare organizations

Consultation participation and their own register declarations, side by side. Counts, not judgments — participation is not influence.

Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 583 consultation files tracked so far (42,224 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.

What each said, in their own words

Their opening passages on the files they share, verbatim and in filing order. We do not summarize, compare, or characterize positions — read them at source.

EU rules on administrative cooperation - recast

The opinion of the German Association of Tax Consultants (Deutscher Steuerberaterverband e.V. – DStV) is attached in DE/EN version: Summarising: The DStV reiterates its criticism of the DAC 6 reporting requirements.

Tackling the role of enablers involved in facilitating tax evasion and aggressive tax planning in the European Union

Steuerberater · filed 9 Aug 2022 · source

—Action against aggressive tax planning yes, but with caution; we do not need any further rules that make planning advice more complicated; our profession does not only live from declaratory activities — Please not create more bureaucracy; the profession is becoming even more unattractive

Filed in German · English published by the European Commission

Deutscher Steuerberaterverband e.V. · filed 7 Oct 2022 · source

The EU SAFE initiative aims to combat the role of ‘intermediators’ in designing, marketing or supporting tax evasion and aggressive tax planning, in particular by preventing ‘intermediators’ from setting up complex structures in third countries. Tax evasion, aggressive tax avoidance and money laundering remain serious problems for the Member States of the European Union.
