E-commerce VAT package
The Council of Ministers has adopted a draft law implementing the EU regulations included in the e- commerce VAT package. The EU package consists primarily of EU Council Directive no. 2017/2455 of December 5, 2017 and EU Council Directive no. 2019/1995 of November 21, 2019 and their accompanying implementing acts.
