Value-added taxes - Main features and implementation issues
Although most VAT systems are built on the same core VAT principles (see Chapter 1), there is considerable diversity in the design of VAT systems in OECD countries. This is notably illustrated by the variety of reduced rates, exemptions and other preferential treatments and special regimes that are widely used in OECD countries, for practical or historical reasons, to support certain economic sector or to achieve equity or social objectives.
