The Fiscalis programme helps to protect the financial interests of Member States and taxpayers. It allows the relevant authorities to implement EU law in the field of taxation by ensuring exchange of information, supporting administrative cooperation and helping to reduce the administrative burden of tax authorities and compliance costs for taxpayers when needed. For the period 2021-2027, the programme has a budget of €269 million.

The European Commission is responsible for the implementation of the programme. It is assisted by the Fiscalis programme committee. All actions under the programme have to be in line with the objectives and priorities outlined in the programme regulation
