- The European Commission has proposed the use of e-invoicing and digital reporting requirements for intra-EU transactions to tackle VAT fraud and prevent market fragmentation.
- However, this proposal fails to address the root cause of missing trader fraud and may compromise the confidentiality of business data.
- It also opens the door to new forms of fraud and imposes additional costs on businesses.
- The proposal should consider fundamental concepts and alternative solutions. If adopted, citizens can challenge any legal deficiencies through the procedure outlined in article 263 of the TFEU.
