ETAF Calls for Modern, Harmonised VAT Rules for EU Travel and Tourism Sector Reform

  • ETAF supports the European Commission’s initiative to modernize VAT rules for the travel and tourism sector.
  • ETAF believes the current Tour Operators’ Margin Scheme (TOMS) is outdated, creates legal uncertainty, and distorts competition.
  • ETAF recommends clarifying TOMS, limiting it to B2C supplies, and excluding MICE and other B2B transactions.
  • ETAF calls for harmonized VAT treatment for passenger transport across Member States to reduce complexity and ensure fairness.
  • ETAF urges alignment of VAT policy with EU environmental and competitiveness goals, simplifying compliance for cross-border operators.
