据Saim Saeed报道，欧盟计划在下次财长会议上将越南和巴拿马从避税天堂名单中移除。
By Saim Saeed The European Union is poised to remove Vietnam and Panama from its list of tax havens when EU finance ministers meet in Luxembourg next month.
据知情人士透露，越南将被列入所谓的‘灰名单’，而巴拿马将完全从名单中删除。
Vietnam will be moved to a so-called “grey list” while Panama will be removed entirely, according to people familiar with the matter.
欧盟各国每年更新两次这份非合作司法管辖区名单，目的是遏制避税行为并促进税收透明度。
EU countries update the list of so-called non-cooperative jurisdictions twice a year. The function is meant to curb tax avoidance and encourage transparency. US territories Guam, Samoa and Virgin Islands, as well as Russia and Vanuatu, are among the other countries currently on the list.
目前名单上还包括美国领土关岛、萨摩亚和维尔京群岛，以及俄罗斯和瓦努阿图等国家和地区。
Securing removal has been a top priority for Panama, its finance minister Felipe Chapman told Bloomberg in June. The country passed a bill in the summer meant to increase tax transparency and crack down on shell companies.
巴拿马财政部长费利佩·查普曼在6月对彭博社表示，使国家从名单中移除是巴拿马的首要任务；该国今年夏天通过了一项法案，以提高税收透明度并打击空壳公司。
The Central American nation has been on the EU’s list of noncooperative jurisdictions — countries that score low on tax transparency and efforts to fight tax avoidance — since 2020, which has hurt foreign direct investment and business relations between Panama and the EU, Chapman said.
自2020年以来，这个中美洲国家一直被列入欧盟的非合作司法管辖区名单，这对该国的外国直接投资和与欧盟的商业关系造成了影响。
Vietnam, which is one of the fasting growing economies in southeast Asia, was added in February this year. The country will be moved to the so-called “grey list,” which is used for countries that don’t comply with international tax standards but have committed to implementing reforms. Jordan, Montenegro and Morocco, among others, are currently on that list.
作为东南亚增长最快的经济体之一，越南于今年2月被列入该名单，现在将被移至‘灰名单’，该名单适用于那些未完全遵守国际税收标准但承诺实施改革的国家。目前‘灰名单’上还包括约旦、黑山和摩洛哥等国家和地区。欧盟财长们将于10月9日在卢森堡举行的会议上讨论这一议题。
