Subsequently, on the basis of the comparison of these methods from the point of view of the impact on the state budget, the risk of increased attractiveness of frauds and additional expenses on the side of tax subjects, the technological measure based on the destination principle in combination with consistent information exchange system between Member States was chosen as an optimal solution.
