Overview
Tax&Financial Standards (T&FSt) is an information system, designed for the countries of the European Economic Area (EEA), that provides in a plain language information regarding economic matters, financial regulations and tax practices in accordance with the current state of the VAT Directive. It can guide the user though the complex structure of the VAT Directive applicable to practical examples from the European Court.
