2025 SME Special Scheme introduces pan-EU €100,000 registration threshold to reduce foreign VAT compliance burden

31 October 2024

From 1 January 2025, significant changes to the EU’s SME scheme will see VAT registration thresholds extended for use by EU companies trading in other EU member states.

This means EU companies trading as non-residents in other EU member states will not have to VAT register if their revenue is below the national threshold set in the EU country of sale, and their annual revenue across the whole of the EU does not exceed €100,000.

This initiative aims to encourage more EU based SMEs to trade within the EU single market by eliminating the need for immediate VAT registration, thereby reducing administrative and compliance costs. The new scheme will not be available to non-EU businesses, who will still have to register for VAT from their first sale.
