Summary/Abstract: The primary purpose of the proposed amendment of the VAT Directive is to reduce the administrative burdens imposed on businesses in relation to VAT. The Directive deals with technical, but also important aspects of the functioning of VAT. The authors point out that standardization of information contained in a VAT return will reduce the bureaucratic burden on businesses and is particularly beneficial for SMEs. They conclude that the proposed solutions require in‑depth assessment of their impact, especially on the State budget, including its liquidity and the cost of implementation. They state that the proposal does not breach the principle of subsidiarity.
