  • ViDA aims to streamline and harmonize EU VAT rules, reduce administrative burdens, and safeguard tax revenues
  • The package includes compromises and new start dates compared to the original proposals
  • Main pillars of ViDA include digital reporting requirements, platform economy regulations, and simplifying VAT compliance
  • Changes approved include electronic invoicing becoming the default system, real-time reporting for cross-border transactions, and replacing EC sales listings with DRR
