"Mr President, the core function of tax systems is to finance public services, such as education, health care, public transport and infrastructure, to protect public goods and reduce social inequalities by ensuring a more balanced distribution of income and wealth. Tax policies must aim to foster economic growth, job creation, increased EU competitiveness and lower costs for businesses, particularly SMEs. Effective taxation helps public authorities fulfil their obligations as well as citizens’ expectations. The Commission and Member States must continue their cooperation against double taxation, tax fraud and tax evasion in order to increase transparency and reduce loopholes and uncertainties for businesses and citizens with regard to tax collection. I should stress the importance of the initiative on introducing e-invoices and the equal treatment from 2013 of VAT for e-invoices and paper invoices, as well as of e-government services with regard to the efficiency and transparency of tax collection."@en1
