At the end of the conference, the organizers stated the importance of electronic invoicing to prevent VAT fraud in revenue collection and announced the launch of a Digitalization Dialogue Group (DDG) to foster dialogue between the Tax Administrations and other organizations.
Data Tech International will continue to promote our core values in the fight against the gray economy and sales suppression, as well as to advocate for the importance of issuing fiscally audited receipts to ensure that complete tax collection and tax compliance is available worldwide.
