German & British-Swiss Tax Agreements vs EU Savings Tax Directive

This procedure concerns the compatibility of tax agreements between Switzerland and Germany/UK with the EU's Directive on the taxation of savings income. It assesses whether these agreements align with EU rules on taxing savings income of EU residents held in Switzerland.

The European Commission is examining these agreements. The outcome could affect how savings income is taxed for EU citizens with assets in Switzerland and impact financial relations between the EU and Switzerland.
