EU VAT Quick Fixes – Status on the implementation in the EU MS (status Feb 9, 2020)

Status on feb 8, 2020

  • To our knowledge, 22 Member States have implemented the so-called Quick Fixes, or at least part of the Council Directive (EU) 2018/1910 of 4 December 2018
  • The European Commission issues letters of notice to 14 Member States for failure to implement Quick Fixes. It is unclear to our knowledge what the reasons may be for a number of countries. One reason can be that a Member State did nt communicate its legislative changes to implement the Quick Fixes to the European Commission. The argumentation/reasoning for countries who did not or not yet fully the Council Directive 2018/1910 is obvious.

  • While it is expected that many Member States may need to change their VAT retutn and/or EC Sales Listing, only few countries did so far,
