VAT system for cross-border trading

A package of measures is being introduced to simplify and modernise the VAT system for cross-border trading and to counter fraud across the EU. The measures include:

  • changes to the basic place of supply of services rules
  • changes to the time of supply rules
  • European Sales List (ESL) reporting for supplies of cross-border services
  • a new electronic refund procedure for VAT incurred in other EU Member States.
