Majority of the states decided to make changes inter alia in indirect taxation as the tool against the crisis. Some of the actions planned the short term effects and some of them are rather as the long term arrangement to fight against crisis. The states usually increased the VAT rates to maintain or increase the public revenues. However, states also launched the proceedings against the tax frauds especially in VAT area where the tax frauds are very frequent.
