- The ViDA package, an initiative to modernize the EU VAT system, aims to combat fraud and adapt to the digital and platform economy.
- The package consists of three main components: Digital Reporting Requirements, new Platform Economy rules, and expanded Single VAT Registration.
- It is projected to generate between EUR 172 billion to EUR 214 billion in net benefits over a decade, while also saving businesses EUR 51 billion in costs.
- Key changes include the introduction of real-time digital reporting for cross-border trade and making e-invoicing the default method, which is expected to reduce VAT fraud by up to EUR 11 billion annually.
- The new rules also make digital platforms responsible for collecting and remitting VAT in the passenger transport and short-term accommodation sectors.
