Vertex, Inc., an SAP Silver Partner and a leading provider of tax technology and services, announced it will participate in SAP Customer Experience LIVE, being held October 10-11, 2018 in Barcelona. Vertex will showcase its value-added tax (VAT) functionality within SAP Commerce Cloud (formerly SAP Hybris Commerce Cloud), offered through on-demand, on-premise and cloud deployments.
The integration automates sales and use tax compliance for SAP Commerce Cloud users by enabling calculation and returns in a cloud-based solution. The integration ensures accurate tax calculations in the customer’s shopping cart with functionality such as address cleansing and up-to-date jurisdictions, as well as customer and product taxability content. The new VAT capability simplifies the filing process with automatically generated, signature-ready returns and enhances support to e-commerce customers operating globally. The integration is available through the SAP App store.
“Our integration helps businesses ensure a consistent customer experience and reduce the time, effort and risk associated with sales and use tax calculations, returns and remittance,” said Paul Beirnes, managing director of partner development at Vertex. “The VAT functionality provides SAP Commerce Cloud merchants with global support so they can focus on business and strategy, rather than tax compliance.”
The SAP Customer Experience LIVE event is the CRM event of the year. Vertex is proud to be a Gold Sponsor and exhibitor at booth S20. Learn more here.

Spain has officially approved mandatory B2B e-invoicing under the Crea y Crece Law, setting a clear path toward structured invoices, invoice-level traceability, and interoperable exchange platforms. With technical specifications expected before July 2026 and phased compliance deadlines to follow, organizations operating in Spain—or trading with Spanish counterparts—need to start planning now. Large businesses will have one year to comply; all other businesses will have two years. PDF and paper invoices will no longer be valid.
France is the most immediate e-invoicing deadline facing European businesses. From September 2026, all VAT-registered businesses must be able to receive structured e-invoices, with large and intermediate enterprises also required to issue e-invoices from the same date.
