E-invoicing in the EU

Italy was the first country in the EU to implement mandatory e-invoicing as of January 2019 in the B2B and B2C segment. As part of our series “E-invoicing in the EU” we highlight the growing relevance of e-invoicing by examining Italy’s successful implementation and offer valuable insights for businesses that are looking to navigate this change.
ViDA poses a challenge to companies
Are you ready for the future of VAT?
The EU Commission’s ViDA initiative marks a new era in VAT compliance. In future, digitalisation will be the key step to optimising processes and meeting new requirements. Tax engines can play an important role here.
Real estate controlled companies
No expanded trade tax reduction for the subletting model
The Federal Fiscal Court (Bundesfinanzhof) had already blocked applying expanded trade tax reductions to lettings between two controlled companies belonging to the same consolidated tax group in the past. According to the Federal Fiscal Court’s latest judgment, of 11/07/2024 (III R 41/22), this is also to apply if the renting controlled company sublets the properties to third parties. This may result in additional tax burdens in the consolidated tax group in the subletting model.
Tax Haven Defence Act (StAbwG) and EU blacklist – what businesses need to know from 2025
Update: EU blacklist & tax havens
The EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes (EU blacklist) was updated on 8 October 2024. This has implications for the application of the Tax Haven Defence Act (StAbwG) for the countries concerned. Extended defensive measures will also apply to some of the remaining tax havens on the list from 2025.
Construction law and insolvency
The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) gives precedence to protecting the creditor
If a construction contract is terminated for an important reason under Section 8(2) of the German Construction Contract Procedures (VOB/B), this is valid and permissible for insolvency law. But creating a set-off situation (payment of work against claims for damages) is detrimental to the creditor and can be contested.
