Written by tax experts and regulatory specialists
Tax administrations continue to insert themselves into the invoicing process or demand detailed records within a matter of hours or days of transactions. Many have introduced continuous transaction controls (CTCs)and are seeing the benefits of closing their country’s VAT gap and gaining granular, real-time or near real-time insight. Eastern Europe is part of this trend, moving forward rapidly with real-time reporting and e-invoicing initiatives.
The challenge of VAT digitization in Eastern Europe
Each Eastern European country has a different approach to CTCs. These differences could extend further as mandates evolve and businesses have to deal with new filing formats like SAF-T and real-time reporting to stay tax compliant. Understanding the varying demands of VAT compliance is key for any business operating in or looking to expand into the region. With this guide you’ll gain a greater understanding of the requirements across the region. Our deep dive into key countries will help you comply with VAT regulations now and prepare for upcoming mandates.

The CTC landscape in Eastern Europe is constantly evolving, with countries at different stages of their journeys.
The Czech Republic, Austria, Croatia and Montenegro all currently allow post-audit invoicing.
Countries that have already implemented CTC regimes (either e-reporting or e-invoicing) where paper invoicing is still possible include Hungary, Albania and Greece.
In some cases, such as in Slovenia and Bulgaria, there are CTC schemes planned but details have yet to be specified.
Others have outlined their specifications and implemented voluntary schemes. Our guide covers some of these countries, providing details about the scope, document flows, key requirements and timelines of their regimes.
Romania – A sneak peak
There are three requirements for taxpayers in Romania:
- Mandatory e-invoicing for B2G transactions
- Mandatory e-invoicing for high-risk products
- Electronic transport mandate
Taxpayers are required to use the Romania e-transport system to issue an e-transport document regarding the transport of high fiscal risk products before transportation of goods begins. This includes data regarding the sender, recipient, goods, places of loading and unloading and details of the means of transport and carrier.
