The differences in tax systems of the member-states of the European Union as well as the specific VAT regimes require passing through varying degrees of approximation, including the complete unification of some of them in order to improve tax collection. Thus the legal framework of the tax system of the EU sets taxes common to every state and those which reflect national specificities and exist only by virtue of tradition or by the peculiarities of the economy of the country.
