Belgium Advances VAT Bill to Implement EU Digital Age Rules

  • Belgium’s Chamber of Representatives accepted Bill No. 56K1718001, which would partially transpose the EU ViDA VAT Directive (2025/516/EU).
  • The bill would clarify VAT rules for cross-border B2C transactions, including digital services and distance sales of goods.
  • It would phase out the special consignment stock regime: goods transferred after June 30, 2028 would no longer qualify, and related reporting/documentation would be repealed from July 1, 2029.
  • It would add OSS and VAT chargeability rules for supplies of goods under the special regime for transfers of own goods, and extend the gas/electricity/heating/cooling regime until June 30, 2028.
  • It would broaden deemed-supplier rules for digital platforms facilitating certain intra-Community supplies by non-EU taxpayers; general entry into force would be Jan. 1, 2027.
