"We voted against the Torres Marques report on harmonising VAT in Europe and, incidentally, against the GarcĂa-Margallo y Marfil report, which deals with the taxation of electronically supplied services.
We are against VAT in all its forms, because it is an indirect tax that hits the working classes the hardest.
Besides, this proposal seeks to define a rate band, in other words, to abolish the lower VAT rates for mass consumption products, such as bread, cooking oil and dairy products, or even for essential medicines.
This is harmonisation for the sake of it and we are in favour of abolishing VAT at European level and in favour of a highly progressive tax on company profits and on capital income."@en1
