Continuous Transaction Controls (CTC)
Navigate the complexities of real-time tax reporting mandates. Ensure your invoicing systems comply with diverse CTC requirements across multiple jurisdictions smoothly.
What are Continuous Transaction Controls?
CTCs are regulatory frameworks mandated by governments to ensure that invoices are reported to tax authorities before or shortly after they are issued to customers. This shift from periodic reporting to real-time, transaction-level reporting helps governments close the VAT gap and combat fraud more effectively.
Common CTC Models
Governments adopt different models to enforce transaction controls. We support compliance with all major frameworks.
Pre-Clearance Model
Invoices must be approved by the tax authority before they can be issued to the customer (e.g., Italy, Poland).
Real-Time Reporting
Invoice data is submitted to authorities almost instantly at the moment of issuance (e.g., Spain, Hungary).
Post-Audit / SAF-T
Standardized files (like SAF-T) are submitted periodically to authorities for auditing purposes (e.g., Portugal, France).

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about Continuous Transaction Controls.
While e-invoicing simply refers to the creation of electronic invoices, CTC is a broader regulatory framework that requires those invoices to be reported, cleared, or audited by tax authorities in real-time or near real-time.
Each country has its own format and submission protocol. However, our unified platform handles all these differences in the background, meaning you only need to connect to our API once to support multiple jurisdictions.
It depends on the country. In pre-clearance models, invoices must be approved before delivery. In real-time reporting models, invoices must usually be submitted within a few minutes to a few days of issuance.
Currently, most CTC mandates focus on B2B (Business-to-Business) transactions. However, some countries are beginning to extend these real-time reporting requirements to B2C transactions as well.
