European Union
ViDA legislative process framework
With the public consultation now underway, plans for the progression of the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) proposal are accelerating.
The European Parliament has now further mapped out the legislative process of the ViDA proposals. The Council will need to unanimously approve the proposal, but the European Parliament and the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) should be consulted in respect of it. Further to our previous post, the proposal has now been translated into all applicable languages and is currently being debated in the national parliaments of EU member states.
The following document provides further information in respect of the background to the proposal, including its objectives and wider implications:
