All VAT eyes on the EcoFin again. The agenda of the 21 June meeting features the VAT in the Digital Age package for the second time in a row. As expected, the Belgian presidency again aims for a political agreement/general approach.Let’s see if more details come in about any further changes to the package and if all member states can unanimiously agree to the entire package this time.We keep you updated.

    David and I did our best to prepare a clear overview of the most important changes in the amended ViDA proposal of the council. Now let’s wait and see if the proposal will be accepted by the council on 21 June.

    Het is een akkoord op hoofdlijnen, dus laten we zelf wat invulling doen van de betekenis van de ingeboekte bedragen voor veranderingen in de indirecte belastingen:𝐀𝐟𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐧 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐚𝐠𝐝 𝐛𝐭𝐰-𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 - u𝐢𝐭𝐠𝐞𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐝 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞 (€ 953 mio per 2026)Eerder zijn er door ambtenaren rekensommetjes gemaakt. Als ik die volg, betekent deze regel afschaffing voor:- boeken en e-boeken (196 mio)- kranten en tijdschriften ook online (303 mio)- Toegang tot musea (79 mio)- Toegang tot podiumkunsten (165 mio)- Verkoop kunst en antiek (11 mio)- Toegang tot sportwedstrijden en - accommodaties (226 mio)Stevige impact dus!𝐀𝐟𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐧 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐚𝐠𝐝 𝐛𝐭𝐰-𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 - 𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐠𝐞𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐝 𝐤𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐧 (€ 1.212 mio per 2026)In een eerdere bundel fichemaatregelen, calculeerden ambtenaren dat logies inclusief kampeerterreinen € 1.418 mio zou opleveren en namen ze hiervoor de waarschuwing op dat "Een gedeeltelijke afschaffing binnen een categorie kan de uitvoerbaarheid negatief beïnvloeden (nieuwe afbakeningsproblematiek)." Wat doe je met een kampeerterrein met huisjes erop? En wat is glamping? Mooie discussies!Btw-specialisten kunnen zich deze zomer beter voorbereiden en ervaring opdoen met wat een kampeerterrein eigenlijk is. 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐤𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐚𝐧 30,5% 𝐧𝐚𝐚𝐫 37,8% (€ 202 mio per 2025)De kansspelbelasting is de laatste jaren al (te) vaak als begrotingspost gebruikt om gaten te vullen, maar dit is wel een hele grote stap. Mijn inschatting is dat deze verhoging tot negatieve marges kan gaan leiden bij kansspelbedrijven en dus tot aanpassingen in het businessmodel moeten leiden. Waarschijnlijk dat hierdoor het illegale circuit voor gokkers weer aantrekkelijker wordt, hier is veel onderzoek naar gedaan. 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐡𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠 (€ 547 mio per 2028)Klinkt als een ingewikkeld vormgegeven belasting met hoge opbrengsten. Ik ben benieuwd of hier bij de Belastingdienst de middelen voor zijn, maar kijk ook uit naar de uitwerking hiervan!

    Update: no political agreement (yet) on ViDA. A bit of a disappointment. Estonia uses its veto and urges for further compromise on the platform fiction (proposing to making it optional). I think Belgium will press to still get this compromise accepted in their presidency (ending on 30 June) in one form or another. To be continued and we keep you posted!

    In anticipation of the EconFin meeting of 14 May, the Council published an amended version of the ViDA package. This is the package for which they like to reach political agreement/a general approach. The most important document is: https://lnkd.in/eKbMcgPp. If political agreement will be reached on Tuesday (one Member State currently still has political reservations), we will quickly inform you about the important changes in the new proposal. The sneak preview for now (most changes were already known):- e-invoicing and digital reporting obligations (cross-border transactions) as of 1 July 2030;- platform fiction for platforms facilitating short-term accommodation rental and passenger transport as of 1 July 2027. Member States may choose to not apply the fiction if the underlying supplier is using the small business scheme;- Extension of the OSS Union scheme to other supplies of goods as of 1 July 2027, but for supplies of electricity (e.g. EV charging) already from 1 January 2026;- The newly proposed OSS scheme for transfers of own goods will also be applicable for capital goods (any VAT adjustments in later years reportable in the OSS return). - The platform fiction for platforms facilitating the supplies of goods remains limited in scope (only for B2C non-EU related supplies). Needless to say, we are looking forward to 14 May!

    Are you an issuer, distributor and/or redeemer of vouchers? Then the ECJ case C-68/23 is a must-read and a trigger to reassess your VAT position. Check out our take in the link below.

    Life goals! Een interview in De Orde, lijfblad voor de universitair opgeleide belastingadviseur. Over mijn tweede leven: fascinatie voor de liefdeskus. Het is allemaal wat minder spannend dan het klinkt, maar ik mocht met mijn lievelingsboeken op de foto 😀 Lees vooral ook de andere artikelen over dispute resolution, ook daar praat ik graag verder over.https://lnkd.in/ed9SEGhW
