Joint incentive to reduce the VAT gap

Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg representatives have convened to discuss plans to reduce the VAT gap.

Although Continuous Transaction Controls (CTC) have proven to be extremely popular in the past few years, with a means to reducing the VAT gap, the VAT gap remains high- 134 million Euros was lost in revenue the EU in 2019.

Shared borders and economic interests between the 3 countries have prompted the countries to work together to reduce this gap yet further- a key factor in the implementation of e-invoicing mandates.
