eInvoicing and eReporting

The value proposition is well established. As the decentralised 5-corner model gains mass appeal, the synergies from eInvoicing and eReporting are increasingly evident.

As more governments mandate eInvoicing and eReporting, it is essential to stay up to date and get ready. Hear about the latest initiatives from leading policy makers and industry insiders; understand how the decentralised 5-corner model works; and learn about our work with tax administrations as we help them to prepare for ViDA.
