it is customary for 3 consecutive Council Presidency holders to coordinate their programmes and priorities to ensure consistency and continuity. Spain, Belgium and Hungary hold the Presidencies for the next 18 months (6 months each), and on 20 June, published their joint programme of priorities.
On tax, the programme states that “the trio will take forward the transposition into EU law of the OECD framework on the reform of international taxation”. The trio will also prioritise efforts “to modernise and simplify the common VAT system by embracing digitalisation, and on work aimed at closing the VAT gap”.
