The European Commission’s Directorate General for Taxation and Customs (DG TAXUD) is organising on 6 December 2019 an event on “VAT in the Digital Age” in Brussels, Belgium.
This event will bring together stakeholders working in the field of Value Added Tax (VAT) to reflect on the opportunities and challenges that new technologies bring in the area of VAT.
In particular, the potential of using advanced technologies such as blockchain in the VAT area will be discussed.
The seminar will also provide a chance to share recent experiences from EU Member States on how they use digital solutions for VAT reporting, collecting and fraud-detection.
An opening address will be made by Stephen Quest, Director General of DG TAXUD, followed by key-note speeches and panel discussions with academics, EU officials, members of national tax administrations, business representatives and other VAT specialists.
Enrolments will be possible as of mid-October.
