With the European decision (Directive 2020/1057) and the progressive implementation of the Mobility Package, customers based in EU are no longer obliged to nominate a representative in the European countries which had already put in place a national legislation for the posting of drivers. Therefore, the SIPSI website for France will no longer be accessible (EXCEPT for hauliers registered in a country outside of the European Union) and the role of Eurovat as a representative in France will cease for EU based customers.

From now on, the transport companies registered in a Member state of the European Union have to:
- use a dedicated web portal in order to comply with the new harmonized regulations concerning the posting of drivers in the sector of the European road transportation : the INTERNAL MARKET INFORMATION SYSTEM or IMI, available in all European languages.
- file a posting declaration when the drivers they employ are posted in another EU Member state for the performance of a transport contract. This declaration has to be done in the IMI Web Portal. 

Some useful links to help EU based customers with the new rules:

EUROVAT remains at your customers’ disposal during the transition period in the following weeks if they may have contacts with French authorities.

For our UK customers:

Due to the BREXIT, Eurovat will only have access to the 8th Directive Portals for the electronic submission of 2020 VAT recovery claims from the UK to the EU and from the EU to the UK until the 31st of March 2021. So we ask you to send us all your invoices from other suppliers than AS24 for the year 2020 as soon as you receive them and anyway before the 31st of January 2021 so that we can register them and submit your VAT claims before the deadline of electronic submission.

For our customers going to the UK :

Further to the BREXIT result, the UK VAT recovery scheme has changed: ALL your 2020 UK invoices must be submitted before the 31st March 2021. After this date, the recovery of VAT paid in the UK in 2020 will no longer be possible.

All UK invoices 2020 from 2020 must be sent to us before the 31st January 2021.
