Changes in VAT - e-Commerce

Changes in VAT – e-Commerce – SME INFO HU 2021-05

The new rules applicable to e-commerce activities will enter into force on 1 July 2021. The goal of the change is making the VAT declarations more effective and simplifying VAT administration. The existing obligation to register in all countries will be replaced by the following possibility: taxpayers may elect to register in only one Member State and from there to fulfil its tax obligations (tax assessment, tax return, tax payment) for the distance sales of goods and services to all Member States through the so-called One Stop Shop (OSS) or Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) schemes.
