Technical Online Working Group Europe (TOWGE)
The TOWGE consists of a small group of direct licensors and local society representatives, and also includes a representative who reports back to other local societies on a bilateral basis.
Best practice for invoicing of multi-territorial digital services
The TOWGE Steering Committee has created a best practice recommendation for the principles licensors and their administrators could apply when invoicing digital services. The intention of this recommendation is to support an effective and functioning digital market, through accurate invoicing, the minimising of invoicing disputes and the application of fair market share based solutions for the payment of residuals.
