Summary:

The EU system for fighting cross-border VAT fraud is not effective enough and is hampered by a lack of comparable data and indicators, according to a report from the European Court of Auditors.

The EU has a battery of tools to fight against intra-Community VAT fraud, say the auditors, but some need to be strengthened or more consistently applied. Improving the system will require action by the Member States, the European Parliament and the European Commission.
