abstract: 'Since 1.7.2005 the EU Savings Tax Directive has ensured a minimum of
taxation on foreign interest income by offering participating countries
the opportunity either to apply a withholding tax or to exchange
information on cross-border interest income. The aim of the paper is to
examine why countries do not exchange information on interest income.
The results suggest that the incentive to exchange information is
weakened if the financial sector in a country is very profitable. A high
profitability of the financial sector enables countries to maximize
revenues from the corporation tax. A second reason for discouraging
information exchange is related to the spillover effects on the domestic
labor market. An inflow of financial capital is indirectly associated
with the creation of employment and well-paid jobs. In its current form
the savings tax directive enables individuals to avoid taxation, either
by placing their income in non-participating countries or by investing
in assets which are not part of the directive. Using German revenue data
for 2005 and 2006 the paper shows that Germany receives significantly
less revenue from countries applying a withholding tax. This result
indirectly indicates that investors can take advantage of the
directive''s loopholes. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.'
