- The Council of the European Union has released a new proposal regarding the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) reform
- The proposal aims to modernize and streamline VAT systems across the EU, notably e-invoicing and Continuous Transaction Controls (CTC)
- Changes will take place over time, with some taking effect as soon as the Directive enters into force
- The new ViDA proposal mainly concerns the dates when measures become effective, with deadlines being postponed due to setbacks
- ViDA adoption has faced delays due to the complexity of its objectives and the need to align Member States’ views and priorities
- ViDA promises significant benefits in public and private sectors across the EU
- Changes effective with ViDA’s approval include removal of EU approval for domestic e-invoicing and elimination of buyer e-invoice acceptance
- ViDA changes effective from 1 July 2030 include redefinition of electronic invoicing and compliance with European standards
