eInvoicing and VAT in the Digital Age – are you prepared?
04 Jul 2023
The automotive industry was in the vanguard of the einvoicing movement and has been exchanging invoices and other financial documents using structured digital messages for more than 40 years. But are our long-established procedures and standards now under threat from governments and tax administrations across the world looking to intervene in the einvoicing process in an attempt to reduce tax fraud and close the VAT gap?
Our Standards
Odette develops standards which help automotive industry companies overcome the constant challenges arising in their supply chain operations.
The great strength of our standards is that they are created by people who are the experts in their field and know the real needs of the companies they represent. They are regularly reviewed to ensure that they remain relevant in the ever-evolving automotive world and new ones are developed to meet fresh challenges as they arise.
We know, however, that the value of standards lies in wide-scale adoption, so we make them freely available to the whole community.
