The governing coalition agreement considers new legislation to tackle VAT fraud on e-commerce of
goods. Under this new system, operators of electronic platform which do not preclude non-compliant

After France and the UK, Germany is already rendering electronic platforms liable ahead of the EU
Commission project that will enter into force in 2021.
