Summary of VAT Expert Group meeting (with a focus on ViDA)
The VAT expert group convened in March 2023, and, unsurprisingly, the main topic discussed was the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) proposal. It was acknowledged that overall, the reception from all Member States has been positive, with limited major cause for concern.
The proposal focuses on 3 main areas: Digital Reporting Requirements (DRRs), the platform economy and single place of registration. Again, it was noted that the major cause of concern rests with the latter two elements of the proposal. Despite concerns being raised, the feedback has been positive and constructive.
