VAT in the EU offers a country by country guide on all 27 EU member states. Each country has its own system with rules and regulations varying widely between different countries and jurisdictions. Businesses, especially those operating internationally, need practical strategies to help confront the growing challenges of complying with and managing indirect taxes.
