The aim of the new reporting system is to provide information on transactions in almost realtime to the tax administrations and foster the use of electronic invoices. The possibility to issue summary invoices for a calendar month goes against those goals. For that reason, Article 223 is deleted, so there will be no possibility to continue issuing summary invoices.
Current version of Article 223
Article 223
Member States shall allow taxable persons to issue summary invoices which detail several separate supplies of goods or services provided that VAT on the supplies mentioned in the summary invoice becomes chargeable during the same calendar month.
Without prejudice to Article 222, Member States may allow summary invoices to include supplies for which VAT has become chargeable during a period of time longer than one calendar month.
