EPF welcomes the European Commissions review of VAT rules for passenger transport, stressing that current provisions are complex and unfairly favour high-emission modes like aviation due to zero-rating, while making rail less competitive. Despite strong public concern for the environment, cost remains a key barrier to sustainable travel choices. EPF calls for a harmonised reduced VAT rate across all transport modes to ensure a level playing field and support greener travel. We also advocate for pricing that reflects environmental costs, in line with polluter-pays and user-pays principles. See…
On behalf of the International Rail Catering Group (IRCG), we are responding to the public consultation on the revision of VAT rules in the travel and tourism sector.
End of VAT exemptions and preferential regimes granted to aviation. Aviation is one of the most carbon-intensive modes of transport, yet it enjoys some of the most generous tax exemptions in the EU. One of the key exemptions is the Value Added Tax (VAT). Maintaining the VAT exemption keeps air tickets artificially cheap, boosting demand and driving up CO2 emissions. Moreover, at the same time, it deprives governments of a reliable source of tax revenue. The exemption is unfair and distortive. While most essential goods or services are subject to VAT, airline tickets are generally exempt or…

As European Anti Poverty Network Nederland (EAPN NL) we urge you to bring the VAT down to 0% for biological vegetables. This has two reasons. Firstly this good and healthy food can also get available for low(er) incomes and secondly it will promote a change of agriculture. Than we want to use this opportunity also to aks you to start a change in taxes that brings profit for all. The first step is to introduce a Financial Transaction Tax (including the derivatives) in 2024. The second to introduce a much higher basic tax on wealth, also on inheritances. This will bring in new money and we…
CESI broadly supports the rationale which the European Commission lays out in its roadmap of February 2021 on measures to reduce the VAT gap (the difference between due and actually collected VAT revenues) in Europe in order to help the governments of the Member States finance the protection of jobs and the recovery of their countries in the current Covid crisis. CESI agrees on the acuteness of the issue, notes however that a VAT gap has been a problem for public finances and prevented more social and economic fairness in Europe for many years already. CESI welcomes in particular the…
Dear madam/sir TVML consider its very good that the gray economy and vat fraud control is making futher actions throughout the EU. The report states that tax administrations in different countries have been consulted on the matter. In the case of Finland , Customs should also be considered and consulted. Customs collect part of vat as well as other taxes related to imports. In Finland Customs and Tax Administration appropriations and personnel must be ensure that vat fraud and other various phenomena of the gray economy. The money invested in the fight against fraud comes back in multiples.…
Please find as attachment the feedback from the Dutch Banking Association. Kind regards Ton Daniels Senior Advisor Tax & Risk at the Dutch Banking Association.
The European Tax Adviser Federation, ETAF, is a European umbrella organisation for more than 280.000 tax professionals from France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Romania, Hungary and Austria. ETAF thanks the Commission for the opportunity to comment on its Roadmap / Inception impact assessment on the “Review of the VAT rules for financial and insurance services”. It is worth reminding that VAT on Financial and insurance services is regulated by the VAT Directive (Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax). Article 1 of the VAT Directive introduces a…
The European Tax Adviser Federation welcomes the project of the European Commission to turn the VAT Committee into a “comitology committee” that would oversee the adoption of implementing acts by the Commission. In particular, ETAF recognizes that conferring additional implementing powers to the Commission in the area of VAT might have a positive impact in terms of harmonization of technical measures that are otherwise implemented heterogeneously at national level. Since the Comitology procedure includes the supervision of national experts within the comitology committee that would vote on…
