Public entity
Benefits to a public entity
-reducing nuisance and costs
-these measures are intended both to protect the tax systems and to ensure conditions of fair competition for legitimate operators
-removing barriers to the transmission of electronic data, which will enable a new internal control mechanism in companies. This will allow the monitoring of the work of accounting services and the use of the invoice statement structure as a tool for communication between taxpayers. It will also be possible to transmit invoice statements in xml format and automate their posting.
– the tightening of the tax system (including the tightening of VAT)
– faster verification of tax data and lower costs
– additional benefit for taxpayers and administration will be the automation of tax data verification. This will speed up verifications and checks as well as confirmation of the correctness of settlements. It will also make it possible to identify irregularities more effectively and thus to counteract irregularities such as VAT fraud or
– tax avoidance. As a consequence, the solution will enable better service to taxpayers, but also a more effective response to those phenomena which pose a threat to the tax systems. These include carousel crimes and the transfer of income to tax havens
Companies
Benefits for companies
Time saving
If the contracting authority sends you an order via PEF, you can invoice it directly using the data that are in the order; you do not have to rewrite the information so that you will not make a mistake
Security
Sending electronic invoices via PEF is safe; you have a guarantee that the contracting authority will receive such an invoice if you enter their PEF address correctly (the invoice will not go into the SPAM folder)
Control over document circulation
Using additional documents sent via PEF makes it possible to control what is happening with the order (its status) and supports verification of documents in the company from ordering to invoicing
Status check
PEF allows you to track the status of a document; if you send an invoice to the contracting authority, PEF allows you to see if the invoice has been read (opened) by the recipient
Automation
You can integrate your IT systems with PEF; this will allow you to send a fully electronic invoice to the contracting authority for public contracts directly from your system
