+**Taxation: Council adopts new electronic VAT exemption certificate to replace paper forms
+The Council formally adopted today new rules aimed at replacing the current paper certificates used to declare exemptions from the EU’s value added tax (VAT) with a new electronic form.**
+<p>Andrzej Domański, Polish Minister for Finance</p>
+Today, we are taking another step to simplify and digitalise our VAT systems. The  certificate in its new form will substantially cut red tape.
+Andrzej Domański, Polish Minister for Finance
+Paper certificates, used when goods are exempt from VAT, will be replaced by an electronic form. This will simplify and streamline the process for companies and administrations when these goods are imported for embassies, international organisations, or armed forces.
+The new measures will come into force on 1 July 2031 with a further transition period of one year during which member states will be able to use both electronic and paper.
+The necessary IT specifications will be discussed in expert groups and determined through Commission implementing acts.
