"Value-added tax constitutes the most important item in each national budget, and therefore tax evasion cannot be accepted. The difference in VAT rates between each Member State is being abused for various types of fraud, particularly in cross-border transactions. In our Member States, we encounter on a daily basis illegal traders who sell goods on the street which are directly imported from other countries. When you purchase these goods, a receipt is not issued and they are sold without a cash register; mayors of villages are even announcing such sales on the municipal information service, and the inspection authorities turn a blind eye to such events. In addition to these ‘minor’ frauds, every year, larger, more sophisticated frauds involving hundreds of thousands of euro are uncovered. It is therefore high time for the introduction of a single European tax and uniform control mechanisms. The economic crisis is revealing flaws in the selection and control of individual taxes and VAT is one of the most important of these."@en1
