The new EU VAT system

At the core of the proposed plans is an intra-Community system for the levy of VAT on cross-border transactions of goods within the EU. Some reforms have already been adopted and implemented by the EU member states; the remaining reforms are either scheduled for the coming years, or have not yet been approved.
