E-invoicing becomes mandatory in several EU countries, including Belgium, Croatia, and France, with varying implementation timelines.
- Digital Economy Taxation: Countries worldwide are adapting their tax systems for digital services, with new VAT laws coming into effect in China, Sri Lanka, and Mauritius, among others. Canada’s Manitoba will expand its retail sales tax to cloud computing services, reflecting a trend towards taxing digital transactions.
