The SBS is changing – have you prepared your FR0564 yet?
From 1 May 2025, a new obligation to complete and submit the FR0564 Supply of goods and services to other EU Member States has entered into force.
Reporting is required if:
You supply services to EU VAT taxable persons subject to the general rule on the place of supply;
You receive an advance payment for such services before they are provided.
This means that the application of the EMS is no longer just a “simplified model”. If you work with EU clients, you will not only have to monitor your accounts each month, but also submit an additional declaration to the VAT authorities.
The FR0564 is to be filled in after the end of the month, by the 25th of the following month, only if a supply of services or an advance has been received during that month.
What does this mean for business?
New obligations may require more accounting attention.
False or late declarations are punishable.
It is important to understand whether you are subject to this obligation, how to format the report correctly and avoid errors.
