E-invoicing and e-reporting are major developments in Europe related to the digitalization of VAT administration. They originate from the European program VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA), through which the EU aims to reduce VAT fraud and modernize VAT administration. At this moment, several countries in which Action operates are introducing national obligations related to e-invoicing and e-reporting. Ultimately, all EU countries must comply with ViDA by 2030, which requires a structured and professional approach for the 14 EU countries in which Action is currently active. This creates an exciting growth opportunity!
