ViDA Tax Data Document Signals a New Era of Real-Time VAT Reporting

  • OpenPeppol quietly published the first ViDA Tax Data Document semantic model in March 2026, signaling a major shift in EU tax reporting.
  • Under ViDA, the EC Sales List will be replaced by near real-time transaction reporting from Peppol e-invoices by 1 July 2030, with some domestic reverse-charge reporting starting in July 2028.
  • Peppol is becoming the key interoperability layer for EU invoicing, and the document shows how future e-reporting will work in practice.
  • The change moves VAT reporting from periodic, aggregated returns to continuous, transaction-level data sharing with tax authorities.
  • The reporting scope appears broad, including VAT IDs, countries, tax representatives, digital addresses, unique identifiers, and detailed transaction data.
