VAT in the Digital Age: implementation strategy to support businesses and Member States

The ViDA package introduces new digital reporting requirements, addresses challenges in the platform economy sector with specific VAT adaptations, and develops a more streamlined single VAT registration process. The new implementation strategy highlights the different steps required for these measures to enhance the transparency of digital transactions, aligning them with the EU’s broader digital policies, and simplifying compliance for businesses operating across borders.

The implementation strategy provides a roadmap with key action points and dates, ensuring coordinated and effective application. By closely monitoring the integration of ViDA with other legislative efforts, the Commission seeks to fully realise the benefits of a modernised VAT system and strengthen the Single Market.

The ViDA package is expected to generate substantial economic benefits, ranging between EUR 172 billion and EUR 214 billion over a decade, including a significant EUR 51 billion in savings for businesses.
