EU: 2015 Place of Supply Changes

Changes to the VAT place of supply rules for electronically supplied, broadcasting and telecommunication services

From 1 January 2015, supplies of telecommunications, broadcasting and electronically supplied services made by EU suppliers to private individuals and non-business customers will be taxable in the Member State of the customer.

This change is the final phase of the EU VAT Package, which introduced new place of supply of services rules for VAT in the EU and new intra-EU VAT refund processes.  The first phase of the VAT Package came into force on 1 January 2010. 

 

The one-stop shop or VAT on e-services (VoES) scheme will also be adjusted to align to the new rules with effect from 1 January 2015.
