- The EU’s ViDA directive introduces mandatory e-invoicing and digital reporting for cross-border B2B transactions starting 1 July 2030.
- E-invoices must meet specific criteria; PDFs sent by email do not qualify.
- Both issuers and recipients must report invoices to their tax authorities within tight deadlines (issuance within 10 days, reporting by recipients within 5 days).
- Invoice data will be transmitted to the European VIES database for verification and VAT compliance.
- The new rules aim to combat VAT fraud and reduce administrative burdens, but businesses should prepare ahead of the 1 July 2030 deadline.
