• The Commission has referred Germany to the CJEU for not applying the EU VAT scheme for farmers correctly
• The Commission is taking further steps to end illegal tax breaks in the yacht industries of Italy and Cyprus
• The Commission has sent a reasoned opinion to Spain for obliging non-resident taxpayers to appoint, in certain cases, a tax representative domiciled in Spain
