"If life is short, we should expect its shortness to take us by surprise. And that is just what tends to happen. You take things for granted, and then they're gone. You think you can always write that book, or climb that mountain, or whatever, and then you realize the window has closed."

The EU Parliament updates VAT rules for the digital age, requiring platforms to collect VAT by 2030 and mandating e-invoicing for cross-border transactions. Businesses will save €4.1 billion a year over the next 10 years in compliance costs, and €8.7 billion in administrative costs.
