Cross-border value added tax (VAT) applicable to e-commerce is being modernised in the EU. The new EU VAT e-commerce rules are fit for a Digital Single Market: fairer, simpler and more fraud-proof. As an EU consumer, you don’t have to do anything directly and there is no need to change your shopping habits or where you buy from. However, it’s worth knowing that from 1 July 2021 VAT exemption for the importation of goods with a value not exceeding EUR 22 will be removed. As a result, all goods imported to the EU will be subject to VAT. This ensures that goods imported from outside the EU no longer have a preferential VAT treatment compared to goods purchased from within the EU.
