- ViDA Initiative Overview: The EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative aims to modernize tax processes, focusing on enhancing VAT compliance through innovative solutions, including electronic invoicing and digital reporting requirements.
- OpenPeppol’s 5-Corner Model Pilot: Launched in December 2024, the pilot program tests the 5-corner model involving 101 participants to evaluate the Peppol Network’s capability in supporting compliance needs under the ViDA framework.
- Pilot Significance: The pilot aims to validate a continuous transaction control (CTC)-compliant system, create a roadmap for implementing ViDA regulations, and promote innovation in tax compliance across the EU.
- Digital VAT Exemption Certificates: Complementing the pilot, the EU Commission introduced an electronic VAT exemption certificate on December 10, 2024, transitioning from paper-based to digital formats for cross-border transactions, with mandatory implementation starting in 2032.
- Unified Vision for Tax Modernization: The ViDA pilot and digital certificates reflect the EU’s commitment to simplifying tax systems through technology, aiming for seamless compliance, reduced bureaucracy, and a harmonized VAT approach across member states.
