According to the latest estimates, in 2020 the EU as a whole lost €93 billion in VAT revenue due to fraud and other economic contingencies.
Administrative cooperation on VAT among EU countries is key to reducing this loss. The Commission therefore plans to amend existing EU rules on administrative cooperation and combating fraud in this field. The aim is to strengthen the tools tax administrations have at their disposal.
