CESOP
Reporting

The CESOP (Central Electronic System of Payment) regulation is a new obligation introduced by the European Union to reduce VAT-related tax fraud connected to electronic commerce. The reporting will come on 1 January 2024

CESOP in few words

CESOP is a complex system for monitoring and reporting transactions made with electronic payments to purchase goods or services. The reporting of each State Member will merge into a single database centralized at the European Commission. The main goal of CESOP is to reduce tax fraud related to international VAT fraud and evasion

What is it for

Through CESOP, the EU Commission can automatically verify and compare the information provided by the different parties involved in the transactions; this makes it possible to identify discrepancies or anomalies in the data provided by companies or presumed to be such, identifying any cases of VAT fraud
