Taxation and Customs Union

The FASTER Directive (Council Directive (EU) 2025/50) aims to make withholding tax procedures within the EU more effective and fraud-proof.

The Council has adopted a new legislative package introducing an electronic certificate for VAT exemptions, marking a significant step towards simplifying tax procedures and reducing administrative burdens on businesses.

As part of the EU's continued commitment to promoting tax transparency and fair taxation globally, Member States have updated the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes.

DG TAXUD is pleased to announce the release of the revised administrative guidelines for the Binding Tariff Information process.
