VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) 516.89 KB
On 25 March 2025 the ViDA package was published in the Official Journal of the EU marking a pivotal moment for VAT in the EU. ViDA is a set of legislative reforms aimed at modernizing the EU's VAT system to better align with technological advancements and address challenges such as VAT fraud and the platform economy. The ViDA updates aim to create a more efficient and business-friendly VAT system, benefiting SMEs by reducing administrative burdens and compliance costs. Irish Revenue conducted a public consultation from October 2023 to January 2024 to gather taxpayer insights. The consultation emphasised the practical concerns, as well as proposals for real-time digital VAT reporting and electronic invoicing and it is expected that this will be considered when Irish Revenue publish related rules applicable in Ireland. The package will officially come into force on 14 April 2025 with implementation timelines extending into the 2030s.
