VAT Compliance Monitoring Agent

The work it takes off your plate

The VAT Compliance Monitoring Agent helps organizations navigate the complexities of VAT regulations, reducing the risk of inaccuracies in tax reporting that can lead to costly penalties. Manual processes often result in errors and inefficiencies, making it challenging to maintain compliance with changing tax laws.

How it works

The VAT Compliance Monitoring Agent collects sales, purchase, tax-code, invoice, payment, and filing data from connected finance systems for the selected reporting period. It normalizes currencies, jurisdictions, transaction dates, tax treatment, and registration details before calculating expected VAT and comparing it with recorded amounts. The agent checks rate application, exemption evidence, reverse-charge treatment, input VAT recovery, duplicate transactions, missing payments, and return totals against source ledgers. It prioritizes exceptions by financial exposure and filing risk, presents supporting transaction evidence, and prepares a compliance report for review. Approved findings can be routed to tax, accounts payable, and finance teams for remediation and audit tracking.
