BDO Serbia

We had the privilege of welcoming Trond-Morten Lindberg, Chief Strategy & Operations Officer of the BDO Global network — and the incoming CEO of BDO Global from 2026 — to our Belgrade office. Visits like this go far beyond protocol. They bring conversation, exchange of ideas and a strategic outlook on where our profession is heading. During the meeting, we explored several themes crucial for the evolution of our global ecosystem: What it truly means to be part of a network operating in more than 160 countries How to build services that are aligned, consistent and accessible to clients anywhere in the world Why attracting talent globally is both a tremendous opportunity and one of our biggest challenges Trond-Morten emphasized a message that resonates deeply with all of us: “The most important thing is to stay aware of what is happening around us — in our industry, in the market and in the world.” Our global network gives us scale, strength and reach. But every local member firm gives BDO its soul, its market insight, expertise and understanding of clients’ needs. Together, this is the synergy that allows us to deliver relevant, high-quality and fully aligned services across the world. We are proud that Belgrade is part of this story. 🌐 Thank you, Trond-Morten, for the visit, the insights and the inspiration

The digital era has brought significant advantages for businesses — from expanding global presence to increasing operational efficiency through automation. However, these benefits come with new challenges, as governments worldwide are rapidly modernizing their indirect tax systems, particularly in the area of tax compliance. More and more countries are introducing digital compliance tools such as e-invoicing, real-time reporting, and mandatory implementation of advanced technologies, while expanding VAT coverage to include online sales and services. E-invoicing and e-reporting are becoming the cornerstone of global tax reform. Across the EU, member states are preparing for the full implementation of the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) package by 2030. Belgium, Croatia, and France plan to introduce e-invoicing for VAT taxpayers in 2026, Ireland in 2028, and Slovakia in 2027. Beyond the EU, the trend is spreading fast — Angola launched e-invoicing on October 1, Bolivia will mandate it from March 2026, Guatemala is integrating e-invoicing into its tax administration digitalization, Nigeria’s compliance deadline is November 1, 2025, while Norway is already conducting consultations on new rules. BDO helps businesses prepare for digital tax changes — from risk analysis and regulatory requirements to optimizing compliance solutions. #GlobalTax #BDO #BDOSerbia #TaxCompliance #DigitalTransformation
