09:00 AM - 10:30 AMAs of 1st January 2021, the UK left the EU and the EU VAT regime resulted in a number of changes to VAT.
After 1st July 2021, the EU has signalled that it will introduce new regulations around VAT and eCommerce.
Why are the rules changing?
The aim is to:
Reduce the costs of complying with cross border VAT rules in the EU
Put everyone on an equal footing, and
Increase VAT revenues for Member States by bringing more supplies within the EU VAT net and reducing fraud.
In principle, from 1 July 2021, all supplies of goods and services to EU consumers should be taxed where the consumer is located in the EU. This is a significant extension of the existing provisions and has the potential to create lots of additional EU VAT compliance and reporting obligations for UK businesses if not managed carefully.
