How to Manage Indirect Tax Compliance and Mitigate Risk in the P2P Process

Managing indirect tax compliance is a complicated exercise. And as procurement activities and indirect tax processes intersect, the risks of getting tax calculations wrong can be high and the consequences costly. At the time an invoice reaches accounts payable, if the vendor’s tax amount is not validated, then there can be an over or underpayment of tax. When companies pay potentially thousands of invoices in a year, these errors can have a significant impact on their bottom line. Improper calculation of indirect tax means the tax department could spend valuable time correcting errors or dealing with audit penalties.
