Deep dive session: digital tax authorities

The submission of digital data files to a tax authority is coming to the fore of VAT compliance.

In this final session, we provide an overview of the latest digital tax trends in EMEIA and focus on the SAF-T obligation in France and Luxembourg (FEC and FAIA).
