About this event
Join our upcoming webinar and get ready for Europe’s Tax Transformation!
The way businesses handle VAT and invoicing in Europe is changing forever. Countries across the EU are moving from periodic returns to real-time controls, introducing mandatory e-invoicing and continuous reporting obligations.
Belgium, France, Poland, and others are rolling out new requirements that will reshape how finance, IT, and compliance teams work together. Falling behind on these changes could mean costly disruptions, penalties, and operational risks.
👉 Join Comarch's exclusive webinar (feat. Agfa & Mastercard) to hear how to navigate these changes with confidence.
You’ll also have the chance to get answers to your most pressing compliance questions - so be sure to bring them to the live Q&A session.
📅 Date: October 2nd, 10 a.m. CEST
📍 Speakers: E-invoicing experts Debbie Hofman (Agfa), Diana Petit (Mastercard), and Mostapha Abdelaziz (Comarch)
Register now and get access to our e-Book with the latest regulations across 57 countries! IMPORTANT NOTICE - a free copy will be provided only during the live event.
