ViDA Initiative Drives Digitalization with E-Invoicing Pilot and Electronic VAT Certificates

  • Launch of OpenPeppol’s ViDA Pilot: OpenPeppol initiated a pilot program in December 2024 to test the 5-corner model for e-invoicing and digital reporting requirements under the ViDA framework, involving 101 participants including tax authorities and businesses, with results expected to guide effective ViDA implementation by Q2 2026.
  • Introduction of Electronic VAT Exemption Certificates: The EU Commission announced a digital VAT exemption certificate on December 10, 2024, replacing paper certificates to streamline tax processes in cross-border transactions, with a transitional phase allowing both formats until the compulsory implementation period from 2031-2032.
  • Commitment to Digital Taxation: Both initiatives reflect the EU’s aim to modernize tax processes, enhancing efficiency and compliance for businesses and tax authorities, while reducing administrative burdens and facilitating seamless cross-border transactions.
