ViDA 2026 Ready
Peppol Certified
SDI Compliant
What is ViDA?
ViDA = VAT in the Digital Age (adopted March 11, 2025; published March 25, 2025; enters into force April 2025). From July 1, 2030, intra-EU cross-border B2B e‑invoicing becomes mandatory across the EU. From 2025, EU Member States may mandate domestic e‑invoicing freely.
Purpose of ViDA
- • Harmonize VAT reporting across EU member states
- • Reduce VAT gap (~€89B annually)
- • Enable near-real-time compliance monitoring
Why It Matters for SaaS Companies
Non-Compliance Consequences
- • Fines and penalties from tax authorities
- • Blocked payments from EU customers
- • Loss of EU market access for non-compliant vendors
- • Many countries mandate earlier (2025–2028); EU-wide cross-border B2B compliance required by 2030
