In 2017, following revelations from the Panama Papers scandal which exposed widespread use of offshore companies by the wealthy to hide assets, the EU established a blacklist of tax havens. Recently, the EU has removed Panama and Vietnam from this list due to significant reforms and improved cooperation on sharing tax information. The updated blacklist now includes only eight jurisdictions: American Samoa, Anguilla, Guam, Palau, Russia, Turks and Caicos Islands, US Virgin Islands, and Vanuatu. This change reflects an overall positive trend towards better international tax governance standards.
