ViDA approval: what you need to know
The VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) package was approved on March 11, 2025. Its approval allowed EU Member States to introduce mandatory e-invoicing.
Here’s a more detailed timeline:
– Starting July 1, 2030, businesses engaged in cross-border B2B and B2G transactions must use e-invoicing and meet digital reporting requirements.
– By January 1, 2035, any Member State that already mandates real-time digital reporting for domestic transactions will need to align with EU-wide standards.
If your business operates in Europe, stay ahead of these changes and prepare to comply with the new regulations.

Slovakia moves toward e-invoicing mandate
Slovakia is expected to publish the first draft of its e-invoicing legislation by summer 2025.
The Finance Administration will become the official Slovak Peppol Authority, following a model similar to France.
The country plans to adopt a 5-corner decentralized e-invoicing model, where data flows between the supplier, buyer, service providers, and the tax authority—typically without requiring pre-clearance by the government.
Pakistan releases new e-invoicing compliance deadlines
On April 22, 2025, the Pakistan Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) announced an expansion of the country’s e-invoicing mandate.

These regulations primarily target businesses involved in the import and distribution of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs).
