This report reviews the main implications of VAT administration effectiveness for the Community, the sc:ilient features of MS VAT administrations and their envirbnmlimt, the main problems they fa.ce and the associated measures implemented ·or contemplated by M.S~. ·Following a brief assessment, the _report puts forth a series of. suggest.ions far. improvement and a follb~-up plan. · The reduct·ion of divergences in Member States' effectiveness in· collecting the tax and preventing fra~d will enhance the collection of the Community own resources, and contribute to greater equity in the distribution of the financial burden .of Community policies both within and across Member States. 2.
