The Group on the future of VAT (GFV) is a collection of informal Commission expert groups composed of representatives of national tax administrations. They provide the Commission a forum for consulting VAT experts from Member States on pre-legislative initiatives.
Until recently, the DG TAXUD managed Working Party No 1, a permanent group, and GFV, a temporary group established in the context of the Green Paper on the future of VAT.
These groups have now been merged into a single permanent expert group, named "Group on the future of VAT (GFV)".
Meeting documents and minutes of these meetings are available on CIRCABC
