VAT

With the increased focus on consumption taxes as a source of tax income and the steep rise in real-time reporting requirements, precision VAT management is essential to maximise efficiency and minimise risk.

Do you have the right strategy, tax function and technology in place?

Your challenges

The processing and management of invoices and expenses, accounts payable and receivable and value-added tax (VAT) reporting can quickly spiral out of control, especially when you’re dealing with complex rules across borders. Some sectors are subject to VAT, others in part or not at all - with corresponding complexities in the right to deduct VAT. Errors in setup, coding or other processes can lead to non-compliance, VAT cash loss, significant penalties and/or reputational damage. 

Evolving transparency requirements and real-time reporting on a global scale can leave you with less time to review your data and documentation. You need to be quick, accurate and in control, which is next to impossible without a clear strategy and streamlined coding, invoicing and reporting processes.
