ViDA package published – should we be afraid of the EU “schema”?

• ViDA Package Publication: The VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) package was published on March 25, 2025, as Council Directive (EU) 2025/516, aiming to modernize VAT settlements and enhance fraud resistance within the EU.
• Key Implementation Dates: National e-invoicing systems will no longer need European Commission approval starting 2025, with mandatory e-invoicing for intra-EU B2B transactions set for July 1, 2030, and compliance with EU standards required by January 1, 2035 for systems operational before 2024.
• Single European Invoice Schema: The ViDA package mandates a unified e-invoicing format across EU countries for both intra-Community and domestic transactions, with ongoing adaptations to align B2B invoicing standards with existing B2G formats, while specific national schemas, like Poland’s KSeF, may differ but are expected to be interoperable.
