EU Proposes Enhanced VAT Data Sharing and Cooperation to Combat Cross-Border Tax Fraud

The European Commission proposed a legislative amendment to strengthen VAT cooperation between EU agencies and Member States.
The proposal allows EPPO and OLAF immediate access to VAT data for faster, EU-wide fraud investigations.
It establishes direct communication channels between EPPO, OLAF, and Eurofisc for real-time intelligence sharing and coordination.
The plan aims to use digital solutions for secure tax information exchange to better fight tax fraud.
The proposal will be submitted to the Council, European Parliament, and Economic and Social Committee for review.
