Summary/Abstract: Value added tax is harmonized; tax collection mechanism, tax base, the functioning principle, tax rates issues, everything is regulated by Directives, issued by the European Commission, where the most relevant is the Directive 2006/112/ES which regulates minimum rates, not rate brackets, so the differences in tax rates between Member States still persist.
