9. 9 General Overview of the Presumptions Point 7.2. EN As from 1 January 2015, in accordance with Articles 44 and 58 of the VAT Directive, telecommunications, broadcasting and electronic services will, in any case, be taxable at the place of the customer. That is the case irrespective of whether those services are supplied by EU or non-EU businesses and independently of the status of their customer (as a taxable or a non-taxable person).
