REMINDER: New EU rules for virtual events from January 2025

6 January 2025

From 1 January 2025, the supply of a live virtual event is taxable in the EU country where the consumer purchasing the online attendance resides. This means that virtual event providers will need to charge and remit the VAT rate of the consumers’ country. This will oblige suppliers to either VAT register in each country or to choose to use the non-union One Stop Shop system to account for the VAT on these types of supplies.

This change will have a significant impact on non-EU businesses that are supplying virtual events, as many non-EU countries own VAT legislation state that these types of supplies are taxable where the supplier is located. As a result, this could lead to double taxation if businesses will be required to charge VAT both in the country of supply and in the EU country where their customers reside.
