Powering the future of VAT
PwC and Avalara
The VAT landscape is changing
The introduction of e-invoicing and e-reporting mandates globally is fundamentally changing how VAT should be managed. As governments demand real-time visibility into growing volumes of transactional data, businesses can no longer treat tax determination, e-invoicing, and reporting as separate, sequential tasks. You need technology that connects these processes so you can reduce complexity, improve accuracy, and maintain compliance across jurisdictions.
Avalara—end-to-end indirect tax automation software
Avalara provides end-to-end indirect tax automation software. Its suite supports the core stages of the indirect tax compliance lifecycle:
- VAT determination (AvaTax)
- E-invoicing and e-reporting (Avalara ELR)
- Traditional VAT reporting (Avalara VAT reporting)
VAT determination (AvaTax)
Automated tax calculation, supported by continuously updated and expert-verified tax content to improve accuracy at the transaction level.
E-invoicing and e-reporting (Avalara ELR)
A global platform for generating, validating, exchanging, and reporting electronic invoices across jurisdictions. Its application programming interface (API)-first architecture and pre-built connectors support integration with diverse ERP and technology ecosystems.
Traditional VAT reporting (Avalara VAT reporting)
Technology and managed services that help you prepare, validate, and file periodic VAT and goods and service tax (GST) obligations efficiently and accurately.
Avalara's strengths include deep tax content expertise, rapid product development in response to new regulatory mandates, and a modular product design that allows deployments to be tailored to a company’s maturity, scope, and system landscape. Its wider suite also includes product and harmonised system (HS) classification capabilities. That, combined with PwC’s deep expertise in global VAT compliance, makes a powerful combination.
