Rationale

MASP-T is considered a necessary instrument to justify budgetary requests made by national administrations, as well as to ensure overall governance of legal, business and digital aspects of new projects in taxation. It offers an effective way to manage the portfolio of IT applications and systems by setting down milestones within a strategic framework.

MASP-T is built in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2021/847 establishing the ‘Fiscalis’ programme for cooperation in the field of taxation.
