Vertex VAT Compliance

Leverage powerful VAT compliance technology to streamline and automate VAT/GST filing returns and reports to improve compliance and audit performance.

Vertex Cloud VAT Compliance

Automate global VAT compliance and reporting with online VAT software

Manually managing the value-added tax (VAT) compliance and reporting process is labor-intensive, error-prone, and costly. Additionally, keeping up with the latest local requirements and meeting reporting timelines for each jurisdiction is challenging, and the effort required to support new business expansion can hinder a company’s agility to respond to market opportunity. More than ever, Tax can impact a company's license to operate within its footprint.

Vertex offers cloud-based, centralised multi-country VAT reporting solution with automation, built-in workflow tools, and a VAT calendar that helps track deadlines and filing obligations across jurisdictions, supporting periodic compliance reporting, returns generation, and timely filing to the jurisdictions.

As a leading VAT compliance company, Vertex delivers solutions that enable multi-national corporations to support current operations and future-proof business growth without additional VAT/GST process burden. Vertex VAT Compliance is a cloud-based, centralised multi-country VAT reporting solution with automation and built-in workflow tools to support periodic compliance reporting, returns generation and timely filing to the jurisdictions. It also supports the growing digitization mandate around the world, including UK MTD (Making Tax Digital), SAF-T, Spain SII, and Hungary RTR.

What is UK MTD?

"Making Tax Digital is making fundamental changes to the way the tax system works in the UK to become more effective, more efficient and easier for taxpayers to get their tax right. As of 1 April 2022, all VAT-registered businesses must sign up for Making Tax Digital and are required to use MTD-compatible software to keep their records digitally and submit VAT returns."

How can Vertex help support UK MTD?

  • Vertex VAT Compliance is a cloud-based MTD-compatible software. It is recognised by HMRC as digital “record-keeping software” which enables businesses to meet the requirements of UK MTD, including:
    • Submitting VAT returns
    • Viewing submitted VAT returns
    • Checking what VAT you owe
    • Viewing VAT payment history
