Agree

No, and neither should corporations and business organizations

While the EPP supports a competitive business environment and might not fully endorse a complete ban on offshore investments for corporations and business organizations, they recognize the importance of ensuring that businesses pay their fair share of taxes. The party has supported measures to prevent profit shifting and tax avoidance by corporations, indicating a nuanced position that seeks to balance economic freedom with fiscal responsibility.

Slightly disagree

No

While the EPP might not fully oppose the idea of citizens investing their money as they see fit, including in offshore accounts, they would likely advocate for measures that ensure such practices do not facilitate tax evasion or money laundering. Therefore, a blanket prohibition might be seen as too extreme, but they would lean towards regulation.

Disagree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP) generally supports free market principles but also emphasizes the importance of regulation and compliance with tax laws. Allowing unrestricted use of offshore bank accounts could undermine tax compliance and transparency, which are values the EPP has historically supported, especially in the context of efforts to combat tax evasion within the EU.
