Recast of the Sixth Directive
On 1 January 2007 new EU Directive [1] ("Recast") governing the common system of value added tax in all Member States came into force. The Recast supersedes the Sixth Directive [2]. The Recast was issued to simplify the Sixth Directive which, owing to numerous amendments, had become difficult to follow, unsystematic and often incomprehensible.
The Recast re-classifies and re-structures the provisions in the Sixth Direction without making any major substantive changes. Before taking effect, the Recast had already been amended by Council Directive no. 2006/138/EC (published in OJ part L 384) on 29 December 2006 to extend the applicability in time by an additional two years of some of its provisions governing the place of performance of electronically provided services, and radio and television broadcasting, initially due to expire in 2006.
Notes
[2] Sixth Council Directive of 17 May 1977 on harmonization of the laws of Member States relating to turnover taxes – common system of value added tax: unified tax base (77/388/EEC)

Kyberbezpečnost nově: tisíce firem čekají nové povinnosti. Iniciativa je plně na podnikateli.
Od 1. listopadu 2025 čeká tisíce firem v České republice napříč různými odvětvími zásadní změna v oblasti kybernetické regulace. Nový zákon o kybernetické bezpečnosti spolu s řadou doprovodných právních předpisů totiž výrazně rozšiřuje okruh subjektů, na které bude dopadat. Cílem regulace je zvýšit odolnost technické infrastruktury vůči kybernetickým hrozbám. Místo úzkého okruhu pouze klíčových institucí se nová pravidla budou vztahovat na široké spektrum firem a organizací, které poskytují tzv. regulované služby. Jde o služby zásadní pro fungování společnosti a státu, jejichž narušení či výpadek by mohly mít negativní dopady na bezpečnost státu, ekonomickou stabilitu a každodenní chod společnosti.
