- The EU Council formally adopted the directive proposal on July 18, 2025, concerning VAT rules for distance sales of imported goods and import VAT. The proposal is part of the Customs Union reform package. It aims to improve VAT collection on imported goods by making suppliers responsible for import VAT, encouraging them to use the Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) for all VAT obligations. The proposal removes the €150 threshold, extending the IOSS to all consumer goods imports into the EU, regardless of value. The directive will be published in the EU Official Journal, with new rules effective from July 1, 2028.
