Solving VAT Reporting Challenges

With nearly 150 countries operating VAT or similar regimes, reporting represents a major hurdle for any company conducting business across international borders.

Key Challenges:

  • Reporting to multiple jurisdictions that vary in regulations, requirements and deadlines.
  • The reporting cycle needs to be completed within a very short timeframe. Typically, a business can only start the process after the close of a reporting period in their accounting systems and need to finish reporting before the first legal submission and/or payment deadline.
  • VAT reporting is evolving and changing, which requires organizations to allot time and energy to stay up-to-date with compliance research.
  • Maintaining control of your VAT position.
