- EY advises the Dutch government to broadly implement e-invoicing and digital VAT reporting for both domestic and cross-border B2B transactions.
- Broad implementation is expected to reduce costs, increase VAT revenue, reduce fraud and errors, and improve real-time tax oversight.
- EY recommends minimal deviations from EU VAT Directive requirements, use of EN16931 standard, UBL and CII formats, and Peppol network for e-invoicing.
- EY advises against introducing a five-day reporting requirement for incoming foreign invoices due to expected administrative burdens.
- A phased implementation is proposed: domestic e-invoicing by Jan 2030, cross-border e-invoicing and reporting by July 2030, and domestic digital reporting by 2032; the government will decide on broad implementation by summer 2024.
