EU VAT Developments: Status of EU VAT Changes Including VIDA

This webinar provides a concise update on the most important current developments in EU VAT, with particular focus on the VAT in the Digital Age (VIDA) reform package.

The webinar will outline the broader direction of EU VAT policy, including the increasing emphasis on digitalisation, real-time reporting, administrative cooperation between Member States, and simplification of cross-border VAT compliance.

A key part of the seminar will examine the three pillars of VIDA: Digital Reporting Requirements and e-Invoicing, VAT rules for the Platform Economy, and the Single VAT Registration. The seminar will also briefly highlight other significant EU VAT developments and recent CJEU judgments that have practical implications for VAT advisers and cross-border businesses.

The webinar aims to provide participants with a clear overview of upcoming changes and their practical implications for VAT compliance and advisory work.
