Can Blockchain close the VAT gap?

Fraud contributes to around one third of VAT fraud in Europe, representing a loss of close to 50 billion euros. To tackle this challenge on a global scale, many tax authorities are requesting more detailed financial information from taxpayers, often in the form of core transactional data.
