Michel Barnier and his negotiating team want Britain to be shackled to EU tax policies after Brexit, a leaked document suggests. The EU's Brexit Task Force met with the European Parliament's TAX3 secretariat last week to discuss how Britain will align its tax rules with the EU. EU Chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier pictured at the European Council earlier this week. 'The mandate for the negotiating team is to define and create a level playing field, taking into consideration four main areas, of which one is taxation'. The paperwork was created after Michel Barnier's negotiating team met with the European Parliament's TAX3 special committee on taxation last Thursday.
