In: Intereconomics Vol. 35 No. 4 (July/August 2000). 155-161.

Abstract
While e-commerce is developing tremendously fast, domestic politics and legislation labor to keep up with the dynamics of the new technology. Among others, fiscal law is a particular explosive area. Here, the current proposal of the EU Commission intends to include e-commerce in the already existing value added tax. By doing so, the Commission hopes to prevent a massive threatened shortfall in tax revenue. How is this approach of the Commission to be evaluated? Are there any alternatives?
