European Union: Council Directive (EU) 2025/516 amending Directive 2006/112/EC under VAT Rules in the Digital Age (ViDA) concerning recapitulative statements enters into force

Policy overview

Description

Council Directive (EU) 2025/516 amending Directive 2006/112/EC under VAT Rules in the Digital Age (ViDA) concerning recapitulative statements enters into force

On 1 July 2029, Article 4 of Council Directive (EU) 2025/516 enters into force. This provision repeals Article 243(3) and Article 262(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC. These provisions had established obligations for submitting recapitulative statements for certain intra-EU transactions and for supplies reported under the Union One Stop Shop (OSS) scheme. The repeal aligns with the introduction of new VAT reporting obligations set out in other provisions of the Directive, which provide for the electronic transmission of transaction-level data.
