The Federal Tax Service of Russia presented its solutions, such as the automated VAT control system, the Online Cash Register System, the digital tax regime for the self-employed, and interactive services.
Greek colleagues presented the MyDATA platform for collecting information on the income and expenses of taxpayers in electronic form. They also shared their experience in applying technologies to control the collection of taxes on e-commerce revenues, in particular the "Short-term Property Registry” digital solution, which allows to report the rental of property via Internet platforms.
