What Will Be Done

  • Removal of administrative barriers to e-commerce and postal exports: red tape associated with VAT refunds in e-commerce will be eliminated by recognizing the CN23 declaration and electronically confirmed transport documents. Additionally, e-commerce operators without physical premises will be exempt from the fixed local tax.
  • Clear regulations for new business models: the proposals introduce tax clarity for social media commerce (Instagram/Facebook Shop). At the same time, a legal and tax framework is established for “cross-border” dropshipping (goods delivered directly between partners outside the country), and the recognition of income generated through monetization on international platforms (Google Play, App Store) is clarified in detail.
  • Elimination of paper documents and digitization of internal processes: Companies will be legally permitted to digitize and subsequently destroy paper archives. In addition, an optional provision is being introduced to allow for the preparation and storage of personal SSM record sheets in electronic format.
  • The FinTech ecosystem and digital trust services: A simplified regime for “small payment companies” is proposed, reducing capital requirements for startups. At the same time, the state monopoly on qualified electronic signatures in certain processes is being eliminated, ensuring full equivalence for private providers in the EU.
  • Protection and predictability: Free online tools are being introduced to check the availability of company names with service providers; anti-money laundering legislation is based on the principle of proportionality and offers mechanisms to protect merchants from abuse (payment refunds or unjustified technical reviews).
