"The report on the future of VAT contains some positive ideas and suggestions, which should be considered carefully and assessed in order to restructure the tax system of the Member States and the relationship between the market and national bureaucracies. I welcome, for example, the fact that, as well as simplifying and harmonising VAT, there is talk of simplifying and reducing the administrative and bureaucratic burdens for businesses in relation to VAT obligations. Simplifying VAT will help businesses and Member States alike to reduce bureaucratic procedures and administrative formalities. Other positive elements are the proposal to introduce a Europe-wide VAT exemption threshold for SMEs, again with a view to cutting red tape and costs, and the encouragement for national administrations to use electronic systems in order to facilitate cross-border transactions and bureaucratic procedures in the area of VAT. I therefore voted in favour of the report."@en1
