Paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Recalls that the elimination of the informal economy can not be realised without the implementation of appropriate incentive mechanisms and that this implies that the publicly owned labour inspection authorities are converted into publicly owned revenue collecting firms; suggests that part of the social revenue surpluses over the appropriations projected in the annual budget could be distributed to the labour inspection authorities (company inspectors) in order to enable them to enhance their functions and operate with a budgetary surplus; suggests, moreover, that Member States should report, via the Lisbon scoreboard, in how far they have succeeded in reducing their informal economies;
Amendment 25 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Believes that the best solution to tackle cross-border related VAT fraud is to introduce a system in which the VAT exemption for intra-Community is replaced by taxation at the rate of 15%, notes that the operation of that system would be better served if the variety and complexity of reduced rates were substantially simplified, minimising the administrative burden on both businesses and tax authorities; notes that individual reductions of VAT rates put in place before 1992 should be carefully examined and assessed in regard to whether their persistence is justified on economic grounds;
