Ecommerce Europe and EuroCommerce jointly held a hybrid roundtable in Brussels yesterday to discuss the upcoming ‘VAT in the Digital Age’ proposal and focus on the Single VAT Registration.
After the introduction of new VAT rules for e-commerce sales to consumers, the VAT One Stop Shop (OSS) has been extended to e-commerce distance selling. Both Ecommerce Europe and EuroCommerce warmly welcomed the introduction of these simplification measures. However, they also highlighted the fact that the new rules still do not address the issue of VAT registration for sellers holding stock in multiple Member States to be as close as possible to the consumers. This means that e-merchants must maintain their foreign VAT registrations in every EU country where they are sending or holding stock.
