US Implements EInvoicing and Reporting: Similarities to Latin America?

The U.S. has recently introduced two new requirements – public sector e-invoicing and country-by-country reporting – with themes parallel to Latin America as it seeks to create efficiencies in government processes and cut down on tax evasion.
