Ruud van Hilten , SVP Commercial Operations EMEA Tungsten Network
a headache for global companies as they try to ensure compliancy .
This of course is where a businesslike Tungsten Network can be a lifeline for companies trading across multiple borders . We make it our mission to work alongside governments as they develop their systems and work tirelessly to guarantee all invoices going through our electronic network are compliant worldwide . To date , we are tax compliant in 48 countries , more than any other trading network in the world .
Most recently , we have been working with the Italian government to understand their requirements . We are now a conduit to the Italian governmental e-invoicing platform Sistema di Interscambio and our Italian customers are able to route all their invoices , both inbound and outbound , via Tungsten Network and don ’ t need to worry about whether they are compliant or not . This is just one example of how we have worked with global tax authorities to stay ahead of statutory changes . If other European countries mandate e-invoicing this year , we will adapt our system accordingly so that organisations are always on the right side of the law .
