Parliament approved the Council's draft directive updating EU value-added tax (VAT) rules for the digital age. The directive introduces real-time digital reporting based on e-invoicing, updates VAT rules for the platform economy, and creates a single VAT registration for cross-border sales to consumers. Parliament asks the Council to notify it if the Council intends to depart from the approved text and to consult Parliament again on any substantial amendments.
