Whitepaper : Tax Compliant E-Invoice Lifecycle Management
Most countries in which you do business apply Value Added Tax (VAT) or Goods and Services Tax (GST) at each step of the economic chain. However, each country maintains its own regulatory requirements for electronic invoices which significantly increase the cost, risks and complexity of invoice and tax compliance for companies who buy and sell in multiple countries.
Non-compliance to country specific electronic invoicing regulations increases your risk associated with a tax audit, forfeiture of the buyer’s right to reclaim taxes, and in some cases, fines and criminal investigations.
