- Transformative Digital Reporting: The European Commission’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative emphasizes the importance of structured e-invoicing and near real-time reporting of cross-border transactions, which are essential for compliance and operational efficiency. This shift requires businesses to enhance their ERP systems and collaborate across finance, tax, and IT teams to ensure accurate and timely data submission.
- Compliance Readiness and Data Quality: Organizations must prioritize data quality and integrity, as errors in digital reporting can lead to immediate compliance risks. Investments in technology and automation are critical to streamline processes, reduce manual reconciliation, and improve transparency in VAT reporting.
- Strategic Opportunity: ViDA presents businesses with a strategic opportunity to redesign their tax and finance operations, moving beyond mere compliance to enhance controls and data quality. By treating digital reporting as part of broader finance transformation efforts, companies can future-proof their VAT operations and leverage tax data as a strategic asset for better decision-making.
