What does “GoBD-compliant” mean?

The GoBD (Principles for the Proper Maintenance and Retention of Books, Records, and Documents in Electronic Form) govern how companies must digitally record and retain tax-related data. Key requirements include the immutability, traceability, completeness, and machine-readability of the data. GoBD-compliant automotive software ensures that documents cannot be altered unnoticed after they have been posted. The article “What Does GoBD Mean?” explains exactly what this entails.
