EU VAT in Digital Age
Cross-border business invoices across the EU become structured e-invoices, reported to tax authorities in real time.
ForHeads of tax technology and accounts payable at EU businesses that trade across borders.
What’s changing, and when
The VAT in the Digital Age package was adopted on 11 March 2025 and entered into force on 14 April 2025, letting member states require e-invoicing at home. From 1 July 2030, cross-border supplies between businesses are reported digitally in real time, based on e-invoices. Member states that run their own real-time reporting must align with the EU model by 1 January 2035.
- Apr 2025 Package in force; national e-invoicing allowed
- Jul 2030 Digital reporting for cross-border trade
- Jan 2035 National systems align with the EU model
Why it can’t happen in one step
Each member state already runs its own invoicing and reporting rules, so firms run national systems and the EU model side by side until 2035.
