Abstract:

The European Commission DG TAXUD published the report released by the Expert group on taxation of the Digital economy. The analysis provided in the said document shows the progress of the action begun by the European institutions with the aim to give the legal bases and the technical instruments implementing new rules for taxation of electronic services. From January 2015, the destination principle and the MOSS1 are going to enter into force. The application of that model projected within the VAT system is welcome from the Member States and also from international organizations such as the OECD and the G20, with the aim to extend the new rules also to tax field different from indirect taxation.
