IDSt is registered in the EU Transparency Register (number 878255144626-94).

IDSt welcomes the standardisation approaches of the Commission in the legislative package "VAT in the Digital Age" (hereinafter: ViDA) for the most uniform electronic invoicing possible in the EU. However, though ViDA has many strengths, it has also problematic points, especially in its practical implementation. For more details, please refer to our in-depth-analysis of most of the elements of ViDA in our attachment to this letter.
