| Summary: | Value Added Tax (VAT) is a common tax to European Union Member States and is one of their
main sources of revenue. Currently, in the European Union, the analysis and measurement of the
Value Added Tax gap (VAT gap) has become necessary for fiscal administrations as a consequence
of the increase in Value Added Tax evasion. In our paper the aim is to briefly present the features of
Value Added Tax, the main objective being to analyze the VAT gap at European Union level and
within Member States. The debate on the VAT gap is complex because of the impact of fiscal revenue
collection on the economy and society. Other objectives are to present the factors influencing the
VAT gap, the VAT rates applied in member countries and to examine the impact of the number and
level of reduced rates on the VAT gap. |
