Many governments are considering or implementing Continuous Transaction Controls (CTC) to improve VAT collection, fight fraud and reduce error. CTCs are typically digital solutions for reporting invoice data to tax administrations in (near) real-time. The technology for nationwide implementations of CTCs is available and the business case for such implementations is undeniable.

This white paper proposes a next-generation model for electronic tax reporting and invoicing that marries the objectives from tax administrations with business needs.
