Operational risk

Fragmented digital compliance models

01

Multiple reporting frameworks

Fragmented handling and execution of domestic VAT and OSS regimes can result in missed deadlines and misallocations.

02

Disconnected settlement processes

Payment execution is separate from tax filing workflows, increasing the risk of payment delays.

03

Limited oversight

Evidence and confirmations of filing and payments are retained by individual providers across multiple jurisdictions, limiting central oversight and increasing the administrative burden of reconciliation and audit preparation.
