"I abstained on this report on the future of VAT.
VAT is, by its very nature, the most unfair tax, and I therefore cannot vote against a report which stresses the need to reform the system, which we cannot dispute.
Fighting fiscal fraud, taking into account the specific nature of social services, cultural services, SMEs or even non-profit organisations, are all goals that we can support.
The report also stresses the need to devise a ‘green VAT’ strategy, in particular, by introducing reduced rates for energy-efficient products and services.
So many interesting ideas, but putting them into practice seems quite uncertain, and may remain nothing more than rhetoric since the report is rooted firmly in the logic of consolidating the single market."@en1
