e-Address as the primary channel. The e-Address (e-adrese) platform, maintained by VDAA, automatically submits invoice data to VID. If you use e-Address, CTC reporting is handled for you. Alternative channels (Peppol Access Points, EDI, email) require separate VID reporting via EDS. Reporting deadline is within 5 working days of invoice issuance. Micro-enterprise exemptions are under consideration.
