The survey also identified the top challenge for the coming 5-10 years as the diversity of country-specific digital VAT mandates and systems.

The top priorities of indirect tax professionals are ensuring technology can meet the ever-changing vat requirements and automating and centralizing our VAT reporting compliance mandates.
