The deadline for Romania's early implementation of the Public Country-by-Country Reporting (pCbCR) Directive is fast approaching. With the European Commission's template and electronic reporting formats expected in the third quarter of this year, businesses face significant challenges in setting up compliance systems and obtaining audits before the 31 December 2024 deadline. This rush could lead to inconsistent reports and increased administrative burdens. Learn why Romania should defer their implementation to align with other Member States and ensure consistency while reducing strain on businesses.

Harmonising electronic invoicing in the EU

The EU’s e-invoicing landscape is increasingly fragmented, with Member States imposing divergent formats, extra data fields, inconsistent definitions, validation rules and implementation timelines that drive up compliance costs – especially for SMEs – and undermine the Single Market.

Reforming the EU’s e-invoicing landscape is vital to deliver upon the vast simplification potential of VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) and the Public Procurement Directive revision.

Learn more about why the EU should establish a harmonised, interoperable EU framework for B2G and B2B e-invoicing by mandating the use of a common standard and limited variety of syntaxes, establishing common transmission methods and supporting efficient implementation.

Strengthening predictability in the draft Foreign Subsidies Regulation Guidelines

The draft Guidelines to the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) risk broadening the already excessive reach of the FSR and making its application even less certain for industry, adding to already disproportionate costs and complexities for businesses. The Guidelines should take the opposite approach, seeking to clarify unclear concepts related to the FSR’s application, hone its scope to focus only on subsidies with a demonstrable EU nexus and align the FSR’s treatment of foreign incentives with EU State aid rules.
