The Netherlands Outlines Four-Phase ViDA Compliance Strategy

Alignment with EU ViDA Proposal: The Dutch Ministry of Finance has outlined a strategic roadmap to implement electronic invoicing and digital reporting obligations, aiming to finalize legislation by 2028, which is two years ahead of the EU’s proposed start date of July 1, 2030, under the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative.
Four Phases of Implementation: The strategy consists of four phases: policy research, legislative process, technical design, and operational rollout. The initial research phase will focus on establishing a mandatory e-invoicing regime for domestic B2B transactions, compulsory digital reporting, and determining the appropriate technical infrastructure for these processes.
Consultation and Stakeholder Engagement: To facilitate a balanced implementation and consider the administrative burden on smaller enterprises, the Dutch government plans to conduct public consultations with affected stakeholders, including businesses and service providers, prior to moving into the legislative phase.
