ViDA (VAT in the digital age)
Major EU reform modernizing VAT rules: mandatory electronic invoicing, extension of OSS and new presumed supplier status.
ViDA — VAT in the Digital Age
ViDA is a legislative package adopted by the EU in 2025, fundamentally reforming VAT rules to adapt them to the digital economy.
The three pillars of ViDA
- Electronic invoicing and digital reporting: mandatory electronic invoicing for intra-community B2B transactions from July 2030, with near real-time transmission of data to the tax administration
- Extension of the VAT single window (OSS): widening the scope of the OSS to new categories of services and stock transfers
- Platform economy: extension of presumed supplier rules to accommodation and transport platforms
Implementation schedule
- 2025: adoption of the package
- 2027: new rules for platforms
- 2030: mandatory intra-EU electronic invoicing
- 2035: real-time digital reporting
Impact for businesses
Companies must anticipate the compliance of their invoicing systems, adapt their VAT processes and assess the impact of extending the presumed supplier status.
