- The extension of the One Stop Shop for compliance with VAT obligation in the EU and the introduction of the Import One Stop Shop;
- The introduction of new rules for goods sold via digital platforms; and
- The repeal of the EUR 22 low-value goods threshold for the exemption of imports of goods.
The release note that although the required amendments to the VAT have not yet been approved due to delays in the legislative process, taxpayers can proceed according to the EU VAT Directive from 1 July 2021.
