EY Global Tax Controversy Flash Newsletter (Issue 90) | Preparing for the rise of e-invoicing and the transformation of the tax audit landscape

The growth of e-invoicing and near real-time reporting is changing the game for tax functions. Given the increasing pressure for more tax revenues, a growing number of tax authorities are using e-invoicing data as a way to audit and review taxpayers’ positions in detail. Businesses should consider preparing for this growing scrutiny by rethinking their data systems, security and processes.

For more information on how e-invoicing and near real-time reporting are changing the game for tax functions, listen to the Tax Threads podcast, How the challenge of e-invoicing can transform your tax function. Host Tony Ganzer (Associate Director, Global Tax Brand, Marketing and Communications, Ernst & Young LLP) discusses with Deirdre Hogan (Partner, Tax and Law, Ernst & Young Business Advisors) and Chiu Ming Man (Partner, Ernst & Young LLP), if e-invoicing will bring real-time challenges or kickstart a tax transformation. Key highlights include: the case for transformation; tax functions transforming at the speed of change; and a look at the roadmap businesses can start to prepare for now.

Furthermore, use the EY Global E-invoicing Developments Tracker to help stay informed about the latest developments and empower your organization to adapt swiftly to the changing landscape of global tax compliance and reporting. Find details of e-invoicing rules across 150 jurisdictions in the EY Worldwide VAT, GST and Sales Tax Guide. For more information on e-invoicing, visit EY Global Tax e-invoicing solution.
