On 2 June, we signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the European E-invoicing Service Providers Association (EESPA). Through this
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), we will
combine our forces and expertise to increase awareness and adoption of e-invoicing world-wide and
to promote cooperation in important areas such as interoperability and advocacy.

DCTCE
Model
We
recently endorsed EESPA’s document outlining a decentralised approach to electronic tax reporting and invoicing called the Decentralised
Continuous Transaction Controls and Exchange Model (DCTCE). This model provides an exchange network that supports the adoption of efficient
economy-wide electronic invoicing, closely integrated with the CTC functionality. Find out more about the DCTCE Model here.

Tax
Administration in a Digital World Submission
On
22 April we provided a submission to New Zealand's Inland Revenue Department on their Tax Administration in a Digital World issues
paper. We broadly supported the themes put forward in the issues paper and believe that it is a positive way forward for taxpayers, small
businesses
and DSPs. However, there are eight key areas that should be considered under this approach which are expanded upon in our
submission. Access a full copy here.

we raised concerns about the unintended
consequences and impacts for our members considering the effects of the Open Banking rollout. Access
