[euopendata] corporate taxes returns - transparency

Corporate tax returns are certainly not open in the UK - in a cluster of
recent cases here HM Revenue and Customs applied taxpayer confidentiality to
corporations as much as to individuals, and refused to give details of some
controversial cases even to a Parliamentary Committee.

The payment of taxes (or the lack of it) may show up in company accounts
filed with the Company Registry, which are public (although not yet all full
"open data")

(apologies for cross-posting)

Hello friends,

do you know of any jurisdictions (ideally European) where tax returns filled
by the corporations are public?

e.g. - amount of corporate taxes paid by IKEA in the Netherlands and/or
Starbucks in the UK (in any of the myriad forms they might have).

So far I know of the Scandinavian countries, but wonder what is the
situation like in other places.

Thanks,
Matej
