European parliament resolution: how to reduce the VAT gap
On 16 February 2022, the European Parliament published a resolution on the implementation of the Sixth VAT Directive (2020/2263(INI), concerning how the VAT gap can be reduced.
The main incentives behind the report were to make improvements to the current Directive and establish a more streamlined, simple, fraud-proof and effective VAT system. It is envisaged that digitalisation will be a means to achieve these aims.
The website of the European Parliament provides further details around this.
