The key change enshrined in the 2015 EU VAT Directive is that suppliers of broadcasting, telecommunications and electronic services (BTEs) in the EU will have to charge VAT based on the location of their end customer (non-taxable person). This differs from the existing rules where VAT is charged based on the location of the supplier of the service.
