Dear Sir/Madam, We welcome the consultation of the European Commission relating to its proposed package on VAT in the Digital Age published on 8 December 2022. We would like to share hereattached some overarching observations, followed by some more technical comments. We note that Commissions proposal is very comprehensive and proposes some major changes of the existing VAT rules, the outcomes of which have not yet been fully grasped by business: further work, analysis and evaluation will be needed, and we therefore call for a further dialogue with all stakeholders involved, including business. Careful attention should be given to the situation of SMEs and small businesses so that they may easily comply with the VAT framework in the EU. As always, we stand ready to further discuss and explain our views. Yours sincerely, Tax Affairs – MEDEF
