- EU VAT in the Digital Age drops proposal to extend VAT deemed supplier obligations on facilitating marketplaces
- Marketplaces are no longer responsible for their EU-resident sellers’ B2C goods transactions
- The European Commission will report on the effectiveness of these measures by 1 July 2032
- The switching of VAT obligations from sellers to marketplaces would have reduced admin burdens
