VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA)
Understand the essence of Europe’s ViDA reform and how Pagero can help you prepare for changes ahead of time.
Propelling Europe in a digitalized direction
In December 2022, the European Commission unveiled an initiative called VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA), which aims to overhaul and modernize VAT management throughout the European Union. ViDA proposes to usher businesses into an era of fully digital interactions, laying a foundation for further innovations. This initiative marks a significant departure from the B2B processes we see today, as it mandates the transition from PDF and paper-based invoices to fully digital, XML-based transactions (true e-invoices) using service providers like Pagero. This system then makes it possible to conduct real-time reporting to respective EU tax authorities without interrupting operational flow.

A hands-on guide: How to prepare your business for ViDA
Under ViDA, paper and PDF will cease to function as valid documents for tax reporting. What are the steps your business should take to transition to this new reality? Read our practical guide to learn how to prepare for the changes ViDA brings.
Navigate ViDA strategically with Pagero
While one central focus of ViDA is reducing VAT non-compliance, another central area is digitalization and the future-proofing of EU businesses. This is likely to disrupt some technologies businesses are acquainted with today. Businesses that are currently leveraging OCR, EDI, procurement platforms or pure tax technology will need to evaluate their current processes and begin the transition to a world where e-invoicing is mandatory. Choosing an open network provider adept in both business automation and CTC compliance is key to ensuring that your business remains agile and well-prepared for regulatory changes ahead.
