- The European Commission has released the 2026 work programme for VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA).
- It supports implementation of the ViDA package, which was adopted in March 2025 and will be rolled out gradually through 2035.
- Key 2027 changes include expanding the OSS for e-charging B2C supplies and clarifying OSS/IOSS rules.
- In 2028, new rules will apply to platform sectors, and major Single VAT Registration reforms will begin.
- By 2030 and 2035, mandatory e-invoicing, digital reporting, and system alignment across Member States will be fully phased in.
Note from editors:
- In 2026, the EU Commission will look at both the legal side, as well as the IT requirements. The latter includes the implementation of a central VIES.
