What ViDA changes

The EU's VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) package, adopted in 2025, makes structured e-invoicing and digital reporting mandatory for intra-EU B2B transactions from 1 July 2030. It also lets member states impose domestic e-invoicing mandates without prior EU derogation — which is why national mandates are accelerating across the Union.

For businesses the practical takeaway: whatever your country's national timeline, EN 16931-compatible e-invoicing capability becomes table stakes across the EU before 2030.
