VAT determination software

Automate your VAT determination

VAT determination is challenging for any company with complex transactions in its supply chains. Business sectors such as manufacturing, pharmaceutical, construction, retail and logistics are particularly overburdened trying to manage this requirement.

Limitations in SAP functionality has created another level of complexity. Custom coding in SAP is often required to achieve reliable determination decisions and the need for ongoing customisation makes maintaining master data difficult.

These challenges typically prevent companies from achieving a desirable level of transparency across their determination process. When a business deals with complex transactions, often due to multi jurisdictional supply chains, accurate VAT determination is vital. Any errors at this point can lead to severe consequences for accounting accuracy and financial resilience.

Reduce Your Operational Burden

A powerful suite of SAP-certified add-ons automate VAT determination, simplifies master data maintenance and mitigates the compliance risks caused by inaccurate data.

Deliver enhanced SAP functionality that alleviates pressure for both tax and IT professionals to meet your ever-evolving VAT requirements.

Benefits of Automating Your VAT Determination

Reduce costs and complexity

Handle future changes without specialist SAP experts, and reduce the technical maintenance burden to free SAP-resources to focus on other projects

Reduce tax compliance risk

Deliver accurate and reliable tax decisions though intelligent, automated logic directly embedded within SAP processes

Mitigate tax audit risk

Identify errors by comparing general ledger and account balances with postings against specific tax codes

Fortify overall compliance

Drive accuracy of data in downstream processes for periodic reporting including VAT Returns, EC Sales Lists, Intrastat Declarations and SAF-T

Future-proof strategy

The trend towards digitisation continues with governments becoming increasingly present in your data. By partnering with Sovos, you gain greater clarity for VAT determination and peace of mind that your business is safeguarded from risk of future audits

Maximise operational efficiency

Increase invoicing accuracy with robust determination decisions, so billing teams don't need to correct and reissue invoices. Similarly, when invoices received by a company are accurate they can be processed without delay

Sovos SAF-T Extraction

Save Time and Reduce Data Extraction Cost Required for SAF-T Report Preparation

Automate tax data extraction from SAP

Remove the pain of getting data into diverse country SAF-Ts with changing schemas.

The data needed to complete a SAF-T report is diverse. It ranges from accounts receivable and accounts payable data, such as billing and purchasing documents, to accounting data found in general ledger entries. It can also include information about fixed assets and inventory, more often associated with the annual financial statement than with VAT returns and other VAT-related periodic declarations. Getting such large quantities of varied data (depending on the country, this can be as extensive as 1,000 fields) from across different modules in SAP or from multiple SAP instances, using traditional extraction methods is both time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Sovos automates extraction of your data from SAP as a first step to preparing a compliant SAF-T report. This frees up SAP experts to focus on more strategic IT initiatives that affect your business. We continually track changes to different jurisdictional SAF-T requirements and ensure these are codified in the Sovos SAP Framework that extracts data for mapping to the approved legal structure.

If you opt to extract your own data for SAF-T generation in SAP or have other ERP/source systems, we have complementary modules in our triple play SAF-T solution to help you achieve accurate and robust SAF-T output.

You can also present your data to us in various electronic formats (e.g., CSV, TXT) then use both SAF-T analysis and SAF-T generation to ensure the SAF-T file you plan to submit meets the expectations of the relevant tax authority. 

Alternatively, if your data is prepared in the legal SAF-T XML structure for the specific jurisdiction, it will be ready to be validated using our SAF-T Analysis module.

Automatically extracted data pushed to the Sovos APR cloud for mapping to the relevant country-specific SAF-T file

Eliminate need for a bespoke solution designed, built and maintained by SAP experts

Update extraction requirements as SAF-T expands to more jurisdictions

Align to APR SAF-T common data model, which covers the full requirements of the OECD’s revised standard SAF-T schema from 2010

Ensure the data extracted is always aligned with country-specific schema requirements as existing SAF-T obligations evolve

Build up the required data gradually, by extracting the required data on an ongoing basis, rather than waiting for the end of a reporting period or a request from the tax authority

Use Sovos’ complementary SAF-T analysis and SAF-T generate modules to review the data integrity and make any necessary adjustments well ahead of SAF-T reporting deadlines

Reduce costs of data extraction and consolidation

Sovos SAF-T Analysis

Assess Accuracy, Integrity and Data Quality to Ensure Compliance with Country-Specific SAF-T Obligations

Full visibility, user-friendly interface

Automate the process of preparing robust and accurate data structures required for tax and compliance purposes, including SAF-T

A VAT return, like an annual financial statement, consolidates and summarizes lots of information in a format that can be easily read and interpreted. By contrast, a SAF-T report compiles large quantities of diverse data in an XML format. A company’s SAF-T report can be used for auditing purposes, with the tax authority referring to it as a primary source against which all historical tax returns are queried. Ideally, SAF-T data determines whether fraudulent practices or transactions have taken place. However, the format, origins and volume of SAF-T data makes it very challenging for companies to evaluate and interpret what is sent to tax authorities. This unknown creates a major risk for companies, their accountants and advisors.

As part of Sovos’ SAF-T triple play, integral analysis provides a human-readable view of otherwise indecipherable SAF-T data. A summary of findings is presented in a user-friendly interface, pinpointing information inconsistencies and tax anomalies that may expose business problems. Through this deep SAF-T analysis of structured data, Sovos powers internal due diligence to ensure organizations achieve compliance peace of mind. 

 

Sovos uses a broad set of rules and tests for the accuracy, integrity and quality of data that’s intended for any SAF-T report. It searches for errors in syntax and calculations and to ensure statistical and logical consistency. After the SAF-T report is generated, Sovos analyzes the structured file, giving organizations confidence the XML will be accepted by the tax authority without further scrutiny.

Maximize operational efficiency by revealing information inconsistencies and tax anomalies that may hinder business progress

Decodes SAF-T data and presents results in a standard, logical way that’s readily interpreted and understood prior to submission.

Advances preparedness for inevitable inspections and audits by improving data quality and accuracy as a result of data checks on an ongoing basis.

Pinpoints the source of errors through root-cause analysis, enabling ongoing, seamless navigation through all data. This includes immediate on-screen access to information, such as invoice issued, product sold and account balance when consulting a specific customer account.

Allows audit notes (e.g., explanations, justifications, actions required) to be added to a specific document, error or finding (e.g., billing later than shipment). This guides internal teams on any necessary operational changes and increases transparency by recording contextual information that can be readily accessed during subsequent audit or tax inspection.

Ensures alignment between SAF-T data, financial statements and other interim KPIs that are reported to executive-level stakeholders.

Enables navigation through reports and transactions referenced in the SAF-T data, automating previously manual tasks with live updates.

Mitigates risks of tax exposure/possible disputes, automated checks that mimic automated analysis run by tax administrations on the same data set and allows any data outliers to be addressed prior to submission.

The Sovos SAF-T Analysis module can be used to check and validate the contents of a SAF-T report, whether the Sovos SAF-T Generate module has been used to compile the file or if it’s been generated in another way. 

Sovos SAF-T Generation

Produce Full Range of SAF-T Reports Compliant with Different Jurisdictional Requirements

Keep pace with evolving SAF-T schemas

Generate SAF-T reports, ready for timely submission

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) first introduced the Standard Audit File for Tax (SAF-T) in May 2005. Since then, a growing number of tax authorities have embraced it as a way to get a broad view of companies’ tax affairs. Many of the countries that have introduced SAF-T so far have also applied their own individual interpretation of the original, or subsequent 2010 version, of the SAF-T structure. However, the quantity of diverse data required by these unfamiliar, jurisdiction-specific SAF-T schemas makes it challenging for companies to meet their obligations. A tax authority’s request also leaves a relatively short window for companies to collate the data and present it in the prescribed format, especially if they need to do this across jurisdictions and in different formats.

Sovos SAF-T generation maps data into the correct schema, ensuring that format requirements are met. There is also the value of our complementary SAF-T analytics to ensure the final SAF-T generated comprises robust data and is truly submission-ready. This powerful combination of modules in the Sovos SAF-T solution provides peace of mind that the SAF-T reporting sent to the tax authority will satisfy its requirements for more detailed information, without need for additional scrutiny.

Consolidate and present data in country-specific, legal XML structures

Deliver the outputs required by each individual tax authority that has introduced SAF-T

Expand coverage as new jurisdictions introduce a SAF-T requirement

Ensure data is fully consolidated from all relevant sources to generate create the SAF-T report in the correct legal structure

Produce valid, submission-ready content when used in conjunction with APR SAF-T analytics.

Provide a repository of the SAF-T files reporting generated, so they the reports can be accessed at a later date.

Used together with Sovos’ SAF-T Analysis module, with its application of data accuracy and fraud inference rules, this ensures appropriate action can be taken to address any anomalies and correct or explain errors. It also provides greater assurance that SAF-T submission will not result in further tax authority scrutiny.

Sovos SAF-T Solutions

Save Time and Effort Preparing Audit-Proof SAF-T Files that are Complete and Submission Ready

Data extraction, analysis and file generation

Automate the process of preparing robust, accurate and compliant SAF-T files

SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax) is an international standard for electronic exchange of reliable accounting data from organizations to a national tax authority or external auditors. Tax administrations use it to gather more granular data from businesses on either an on demand or periodic basis. Sovos can manage all SAF-T requirements across multiple jurisdictions through automated processes that seamlessly extract required data, map data accurately to SAF-T structures in the latest legal formats and perform deep analysis on SAF-T output generated.

Sovos provides certainty with a future-proof strategy for tackling compliance obligations across all markets as indirect tax (VAT) regulations evolve toward continuous e-reporting and other continuous transaction controls (CTCs) requiring increasingly granular data. Sovos’ solution for SAF-T combines extraction, analysis and generation providing our customers with the certainty they need.
