Difficult Progress of VIDA in the Digital Age: Negotiations and Implementation Challenges

• Negotiations on certain parts of the proposal for VAT rules for the digital age (VIDA) are difficult
• Differences between member states on the level of harmonization regarding digital reporting obligations and e-invoicing
• The upcoming Belgian presidency prioritizes VIDA and aims for an agreement on the entire proposal by the end of their term
• The Dutch government aims for sufficient time for operational implementation of reporting systems, obligations, and e-invoicing after acceptance of the proposal
• Technical details, including IT systems and e-invoicing data, need to be clear before reaching an agreement
• Data security is a key priority
• Sufficient time for implementation by all parties involved is important for platform fiction and VAT registration aspects.
