Latin America: The Pioneer Region
Brazil leads with extraordinary data requirements—up to 1,800 fields—and operates on a pre-clearance model. Invoices must be approved before goods can leave a seller’s premises. With tax reform coming in 2026, Brazil is moving toward VAT-like systems used globally.
Latin America: The Pioneer Region
Mexico continues advancing its digital tax transformation with increasingly complex requirements affecting U.S. companies with cross-border operations. From CFDI requirements to e-invoicing mandates for exporters and retailers, non-compliance can result in business shutdowns, supply chain delays, and rejected transactions.
Europe: The Calculated Approach
EMEA has taken a more measured approach with the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative. Unlike Latin America, real-time reporting is emphasized over real-time clearance. Country-specific implementations vary considerably—Italy imposes penalties of €250-2,000 per non-compliant invoice, while France is shifting to partner dematerialization platforms by 2026-2027.
Asia & Middle East: The Innovation Frontier
APAC presents diverse approaches, blending Latin American and European models with innovative variations. Malaysia implements pre-clearance processes similar to Latin America. India focuses on securing unique reference numbers from tax authorities based on invoice data. Companies operating across Asia-Pacific face a complex and evolving landscape requiring specialized knowledge.
