Many European countries are actively working to reduce the so-called VAT gap. This is the difference between the amount of VAT expected and the VAT actually paid to the government.
As a result, many governments are mandating e-invoicing to ensure full transparency of business invoicing activity.
To comply, your business needs an e-invoicing solution that connects to the respective government agency's e-invoicing platform. With Banqup, this is easily done for you.
Using Banqup, you can create e-invoices in seconds. Then distribute them via our network and connect to your government platform. We'll make sure you have all the required fields so you can then submit the invoice in format that ensures you comply.
In Europe, there are numerous efforts to make such regulations mandatory for electronic invoices. Many countries in Europe are currently enacting corresponding laws. Take a look at the next important dates for the regulations on electronic invoices and so-called clearance models in European countries (VAT Directive). Are you affected? Check out if and what your company has to do to comply with them.
