EU B2C digital services VAT guide

Telecommunications, broadcasting and electronically supplied B2C services are generally taxed where the customer resides.

General rule

Article 58 applies destination taxation to these services. Article 59c provides a EUR 10,000 cross-border threshold for qualifying EU-established suppliers, unless they opt into destination taxation.

Important exceptions

The threshold and OSS eligibility depend on establishment, customer location evidence, transaction type and prior elections.
