Past Event: Tuesday, May 9, 2023

The worldwide VAT compliance landscape is changing due to the implementation of various e-invoicing and (near) real-time filing obligations. The requirement of having correct data submitted to the tax authorities is more important than ever. Especially with the ViDA proposals of the European Commission and the introduction of Digital Reporting Requirements. 

Automating the VAT compliance function can assist with this, by creating more valuable time for review before the returns are submitted.

In this session, we will:

  • Describe how to address the challenges related to ensuring the benefits of automating global compliance processes
  • Articulate the benefits of investing in automated compliance solutions

Speakers

  • Robert-Jan Brethouwer, Partner, Indirect Tax
  • Ygrain Post, Senior Consultant, Indirect Tax
