The European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation, and Customs, Pierre Moscovici, has issued a statement confirming that a minimum threshold for suppliers of digital services will not be introduced, despite calls for a softening in the approach from a UK MEP and other questions in the European parliament.

In more than one question, the European Commission (EC) has been asked whether there will be an EU-level response to the concerns raised by small businesses about the cost of complying with the new requirements.
