The European Commission has adopted two reports which shed more light on problems linked to fighting VAT fraud within the EU, and which identify possible remedies.

The first report looks at VAT collection and control procedures across the EU Member States. Recommendations are addressed to individual Member States on where they could make improvements.

The second report looks at how effectively administrative cooperation and other available tools are being used in order to combat VAT Fraud in the EU.

The texts of the reports (COM/2014/71 and COM/2014/69) are available from our European Commission’s Taxation and Customs Union website.
