- The EU Commission proposed enhanced VAT data sharing and cooperation among EU institutions and Member States to combat cross-border tax fraud.
- The proposal would allow real-time access to VAT data for the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) and the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), enabling more effective tax audits and investigations.
- This initiative is part of the broader VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) reform and aims to reduce the VAT gap and multi-million euro carousel fraud cases.
- Improved data sharing and cooperation will help identify fraudulent businesses and stakeholders, increasing compliance and protection for honest taxpayers.
- The adoption of new tax technology tools and regulatory updates will lead to more audits and fewer opportunities for tax evasion.
