Advocate General’s Opinion on DAC6’s Professional Privilege Waiver: Implications for Non-Lawyers

  • Advocate General Nicholas Emiliou delivered his opinion on DAC6’s professional privilege waiver
  • He suggested that the CJEU should answer questions from the Belgian Constitutional Court
  • Emiliou stated that reporting aggressive cross-border tax arrangements does not breach Union law
  • Member States can only exempt intermediaries from reporting if it breaches professional secrecy for lawyers
  • The conclusions of Emiliou are not binding, and the Court will deliver its judgment in the future.
