- In 2024, EU countries collected 33 billion euros in VAT revenue from e-commerce, following reforms introduced in 2021. Since then, about 88 billion euros have been collected. The reforms aimed to simplify tax compliance and ensure fair taxation, allowing businesses to declare and pay VAT on cross-border sales within the EU. The number of registered operators continues to grow, with over 170,000 companies participating by the end of 2024. The changes were intended to remove barriers to cross-border online sales and address challenges with low-value imports.
