The EU is implementing a new framework as part of attempts to ensure this, which mandates that digital currency suppliers from various regions of the continent, regardless of the shape of their business, must provide input on all interactions to the tax managers. Such a move if properly coordinated will boost the Union’s income-generating efforts making up for most of the shortfalls it has experienced in recent years.
