- Rising Costs of Privacy Measures: The EU VAT anti-fraud plan ViDA mandates e-invoicing for VAT entrepreneurs, requiring significant financial investment in compliance measures, such as the €1750 annual fee for the Peppol network.
- Legal Precedents on Mandatory Costs: The Supreme Court upheld the legality of mandatory ‘eHerkenning’ costs for taxpayers, deeming the €20-25 annual fee proportionate to GDPR compliance goals, raising questions about similar evaluations for e-invoicing expenses.
- Proportionality and Alternatives: The determination of whether e-invoicing costs are proportionate hinges on the availability of less intrusive alternatives for VAT fraud prevention and the overall necessity of the financial burden imposed on taxpayers.
