Denmark is transitioning its NemHandel e‑invoicing system from the domestic OIOUBL format to the Peppol BIS standard, with full migration targeted for mid‑2029. The shift aligns with the 2030 VAT in the Digital Age reforms that mandate e‑invoicing for intra‑community transactions and supports the ViDA Digital Reporting Requirements. Businesses will need to adapt to a phased coexistence period before Peppol BIS becomes the dominant format.

The Xyrality case (C‑459/24) clarifies that e‑commerce platforms can be treated as suppliers for VAT purposes, meaning VAT is due on the full transaction amount, not just the platform fee. The ruling confirms that Article 28 creates a deemed supply chain when an intermediary acts in its own name but on behalf of the actual provider, and that Article 9a’s presumption cannot be rebutted if the platform authorises the charge, delivers the service, or sets the general terms. Platforms dominating the customer relationship must therefore reassess their VAT obligations.

EU member states are pushing for a €2 customs handling fee on low‑value parcels (below €150) to take effect on 1 July 2026, ahead of the planned 1 November 2026 date. An interim €3 customs levy will also apply from 1 July 2026 until March 2028, while the €150 duty threshold is slated for removal under the 2028 customs reform. The fee could be reduced to €0.50 for importers registered with the Trust and Check Trader scheme.
