Extended article
The piece reflects on the taxpayer’s “Odyssey” through the ViDA implementation phase and the ensuing post‑ViDA policy debate. Companies must digest legal, technical and operational changes across Digital Reporting Requirements (from 1 July 2030), Platform Economy rules (from 1 July 2028), Single VAT Registration and IOSS enhancements. The author cautions that any post‑ViDA agenda should not simply repeat the “VAT gap” mantra to load further obligations on compliant taxpayers — the “forgotten VAT gap” (compliance burdens, blocked ITC, dual reporting) deserves equal attention.
