EU code of conduct on business taxation groups gets new chairperson

Petkova

Lyudmila Petkova has replaced Fabrizia Lapecorella as the chairperson of the EU Council’s working group that oversees the implementation of the EU’s code of conduct on business taxation.

As of February 5, Petkova will lead the group in its function to set criteria for assessing tax measures that potentially encourage harmful tax competition.

Petkova will be responsible for conducting the interactions and dialogues with the 95 third country jurisdictions on procedural and/or political aspects of the EU listing process. She will also continue her role as the director of the tax policy directorate at the Bulgarian Ministry of Finance.
