"I voted for this report on the future of value-added tax (VAT) because the measures being proposed will help make the internal market more efficient. The report calls on Member States to coordinate and harmonise administrative practices relating to VAT, and implement measures to reduce the administrative burdens caused by VAT, reduce the frequency of regular VAT returns and simplify the proof required for a VAT export exemption. E-invoicing helps reduce payment delays, the risk of errors and fraud, as well as administrative costs. Directive 2010/45/EU on the common system of value-added tax as regards the rules on invoicing sets out new VAT rules for e-invoicing, thereby ensuring equal treatment for paper and e-invoices. According to COM(2009)15 on reducing administrative burdens, applying the same VAT rules to both paper and e-invoices will reduce the administrative burden on companies by up to EUR 18 million in the medium term. In the transport sector, there has been a call for harmonised regulations or a reduced VAT rate for cross-border transport within the EU, as well as for making information accessible about the different VAT rates applied in the passenger transport sector, so as to inform passengers about the exact cost of their cross-border journey."@en1
