So, does the GPDR (or the CCPA) prevent this for EU citizens? I'm a bit of a GPDR skeptic, but coming from a place where I'd like to see improvements in privacy legislation and more clarity. Is this specific practice, transmitting tax data to a 3rd party, outlawed in Europe?

Theoretically, yes. Practically lots of companies still ignore GDPR rules or have just not prioritized doing so (yet). If the business is tracking people and selling data, some just keep going until a fine hits...

In most European countries, a third party is never involved in the tax filing process. The tax agency sends you a prefilled form that you just have to approve in most cases. Also, all tax records in my country used to be public until recently and I think even now that information is somewhat easy to get.
