New VAT rules for online marketplaces

printer Mail

The amending directive setting out the information online marketplaces must collect and report in connection with sales of goods in the EU with a value up to €150, was published in the EU official journal on 2 December and comes into force on 22 December. The new requirements must be applied from 1 January 2021.

The directive supplements the rules laid down in the VAT e-commerce directive agreed in December 2017 treating online marketplaces as the seller when they facilitate such sales of goods made by non-EU businesses using their platforms.

The text of the directive, ‘amending directive 2006/112/EC as regards provisions relating to distance sales of goods and certain domestic supplies of goods’, is in the EU official journal at bit.ly/2DEdICU.
