On 22 March 2018, the new special committee on financial crimes, tax evasion, and tax avoidance (TAX3) held its first meeting at which it appointed a Chair and four Vice Chairs.

- Through acclamation, Petr Ježek (CZ, ALDE), former co-rapporteur for the PANA Committee, became the head of the TAX3 Committee.

- Roberts Zīle (LV, ECR) was appointed First Vice Chair and Eva Joly (FR, Greens/ALE) Second Vice Chair.

- In the election of the third Vice Chairman, Esther de Lange (NL, EPP) prevailed in a run-off election.

- Ana Gomes (PT, S&D) won the run-off election for the fourth Vice Chairman.

The GUE/NGL, EFDD, ENF, and NI, who are also represented on the committee, are thus left empty-handed.

The Special Committee consists of 45 members. Its task is to continue the work of the TAXE 1 and TAXE 2 special committees and the PANA inquiry committee. Additionally, it is to take up the fight against financial crime during the 12-month term of office that commenced on 1 March 2018.
