UPDATE: 2025 SME Special Scheme introduces pan-EU registration threshold to reduce foreign VAT compliance burden

29 November 2024

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

Under the new rules, EU companies trading in other member states will not need to register for VAT if their revenue is below the national threshold set by the country of sale, provided their annual revenue across the EU does not exceed €100,000.

This initiative aims to encourage EU-based SMEs to engage in cross-border trade within the single market by eliminating the need for immediate VAT registration. The goal is to reduce administrative and compliance costs. However, the scheme will remain unavailable to non-EU businesses, which must still register for VAT from their first sale.
