Proposed for domestic B2B plus intra-community and reverse-charge transactions. Nothing is legislated yet — this is a design framework awaiting formal cabinet approval.
TIME-SENSITIVE: the cabinet's definitive position was due summer 2026, and as of 30 July 2026 no formal cabinet decision had been published — the Ministry is still 'working towards a decision this summer' (Peppol.nu, 9 Jul 2026), so it remains an exploratory analysis, not decided policy. Re-verify before publication. The ~2030 and ~2032 dates are indicative only. The Netherlands has been the EU's most reluctant large member state on domestic mandates, so January 2030 could easily collapse back into the 1 July 2030 ViDA date.
