- Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the EU is trying to resolve Estonia’s opposition to the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) package
- Estonia vetoed the deemed supplier rule twice, concerned about its impact on small traders
- Hungary proposed a 10-year general opt-out or a simplified version of a Belgian proposal
- Member States prefer the second option, which allows an opt-out for SMEs with reduced administrative burdens
- Estonia may accept a compromise after previously pushing for a voluntary opt-in system
- Agreement could be reached at a meeting on 24 October, with finalisation of the ViDA package possible on 5 November at the Ecofin meeting
