EU’s Real-Time VAT Reporting: Transforming Compliance with ViDA and Digital Transaction-Level Controls

The EU is shifting to real-time VAT reporting, the biggest change to the VAT system since its inception.
National e-reporting and e-invoicing mandates are being unified under the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) framework.
