Recast of the Sixth Directive

On 1 January 2007 new EU Directive [1] ("Recast") governing the common system of value added tax in all Member States came into force. The Recast supersedes the Sixth Directive [2]. The Recast was issued to simplify the Sixth Directive which, owing to numerous amendments, had become difficult to follow, unsystematic and often incomprehensible.

The Recast re-classifies and re-structures the provisions in the Sixth Direction without making any major substantive changes. Before taking effect, the Recast had already been amended by Council Directive no. 2006/138/EC (published in OJ part L 384) on 29 December 2006 to extend the applicability in time by an additional two years of some of its provisions governing the place of performance of electronically provided services, and radio and television broadcasting, initially due to expire in 2006.
