The long-awaited VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) proposal has been officially approved. On November 5, 2024, during the Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN) meeting, EU member states unanimously agreed on adopting the ViDA package.

This decision marks a major milestone in modernizing the VAT Directive, setting the stage for a more efficient and digital VAT system across the European Union.

Certain changes will take effect immediately once the package comes into force, while others will roll out in stages over the coming years.
