- It sets rules for taxable supplies, entrepreneurs, transaction location, and taxable amounts.
- It also covers VAT rates, exemptions, input VAT deduction, invoices, record-keeping, returns, assessments, and special cross-border/import rules.
- For retail and fiscalization, the most relevant parts are VAT rates, invoicing, exemptions, and transaction documentation.
