- The EU VAT gap remains significant, with €89 billion lost in 2022 despite improvements from digitisation and policy measures.
- Challenges persist due to VAT fraud, evasion, administrative inefficiencies, and the complexity of cross-border and online trade.
- The ViDA initiative aims to modernise VAT through real-time digital reporting, mandatory eInvoicing, and harmonised rules.
- ViDA focuses on three pillars: Digital Reporting Requirements, Platform Economy reforms, and Single VAT Registration to simplify compliance and reduce fraud.
