PostEurop Asks EC to Delay EU VAT Changes

PostEurop joined with other European trade associations to petition the European Commission to delay implementation of the new European Union VAT regulations until January 2022. The groups cite the lack of readiness of many EU Member States and growing unharmonized implementation in the EU, “and the impact that this has on the preparation by trade, and consequential damage it will cause to European consumers, businesses and governments if the implementation would go ahead as planned.”
