VAT in the digital age

Briefing 22-10-2024

Value added tax (VAT) is one of the key revenue raisers in national budgets, accounting on average for almost a fifth of all tax revenue collected in the EU; and yet, sizeable amounts of VAT revenue are lost to fraud.

On 8 December 2022, to help fight VAT fraud and reduce this burden, the European Commission tabled a three-part proposal for a directive on VAT in the digital age. The proposal has three main objectives. The ...

The crypto-asset sector, while still relatively new, has already changed the world of payments and investment forever. The fast-changing, mobile nature of the sector and its growing market prominence poses challenges, however, for tax authorities, which are not always able to track the capital gains made from trading crypto-assets.

Le società di comodo sono entità che non svolgono attività economiche o svolgono un'attività economica minima. Sebbene possano talvolta svolgere funzioni commerciali utili, possono anche essere utilizzate impropriamente a fini di pianificazione fiscale aggressiva o di evasione fiscale.

Il Parlamento discuterà e voterà una relazione sull'argomento durante la tornata di gennaio ...

La trasparenza fiscale è diventata uno strumento importante nella lotta contro l'elusione e l'evasione fiscali. La rendicontazione paese per paese ha come obiettivo quello di imporre alle imprese multinazionali di fornire dati sufficienti per poter distinguere la parte della loro attività relativa a un determinato paese. La proposta di direttiva della Commissione europea sulla rendicontazione paese per paese è stata presentata per la prima volta nel 2016. I negoziati interistituzionali sono sfociati ...

La riforma della strategia dell'UE in materia di pratiche fiscali dannose ha assunto un posto di rilievo nell'agenda per diverse ragioni: ovvero la notevole perdita di gettito dovuta all'evasione e all'elusione fiscali, mentre gli Stati membri stanno affrontando gli enormi impatti economici della pandemia, le pressioni pubbliche e parlamentari e varie rivelazioni di alto profilo in merito a pratiche fiscali discutibili. Nell'autunno 2020 la sottocommissione per le questioni fiscali (FISC) ha avviato ...

The digitalisation of the economy opens the door to new cross-border economic activities that makes it possible to under-report income and under-pay tax. It also presents new challenges for tax administrations, already faced with limited access to information at the national level. Hence, in July 2020 the Commission proposed to amend the provisions on information exchange and administrative cooperation and to include the automatic exchange of data on information declared by digital platform operators ...
