France has introduced a temporary €2 small parcel tax on low‑value imports effective March 1 2026. The tax applies to parcels below €150, is levied per item at the time of import, and will remain in force until the EU‑wide parcel tax takes effect in November 2026, but no later than December 31 2026. The liable party is the person responsible for import VAT on the H7 declaration, covering IOSS users, French VAT registrants, and others.

The Danish Business Authority has unveiled SAF‑T 2.0, a new standard for exchanging accounting data at the transaction level. From 1 January 2027 all registered digital accounting system providers must support SAF‑T 2.0, while companies using non‑registered systems must continue to generate SAF‑T 1.0 files and comply with the Bookkeeping Act. The update enhances data sharing with partners and authorities such as the Danish Tax Agency and supports future automation in reporting to public sector bodies.
