The digitisation of tax reporting - a global tracker

From SAF-T to e-invoicing, tax authorities around the world are increasingly demanding detailed electronic VAT transactional reporting from businesses to help them efficiently track and monitor indirect tax that is due, and reduce tax evasion and fraud.

This global tracker provides a country-by-country list of the new and proposed requirements for invoice-level, digital transactional reporting.
