\n<\/strong>The primary goal of the 2027 reform is “compilative”\u2014unifying existing rules rather than introducing massive substantive changes to tax rates or liability.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>While much of the text transposes existing law, several operational and technical updates will commence on the effective date:<\/p>\n
\n<\/u>Article 45 of the new code mandates exclusively digital customs evidence via the\u00a0Automated Export System (AES)\u00a0to prove goods have left the EU, replacing older paper-based forms.<\/p>\n
\n<\/u>The code formalises “place-of-supply” rules for digital services, specifically clarifying VAT obligations for\u00a0streamed events.<\/p>\n
\n<\/u>Regulations regarding invoicing, registration, tax settlement, and refunds previously treated in separate legal instruments are now unified under the single code.<\/p>\n
\n<\/u>All previous VAT-specific decrees and conflicting historical amendments will be officially repealed as of\u00a01st January 2027.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
