Low-cost VAT determination no longer needs a big ERP upgrade or expensive tax engine
Ask yourself these questions:
- Does your business have a major global footprint –with complex cross-border transactions and supply chains?
- Is this crushing your ERP and resulting in hundreds of hours of manual VAT or GST corrections and disputes with suppliers and customers to get your tax calculations and reporting right?
- Are you nervous about the wave of live reporting and e-invoicing sweeping Europe and beyond?
- Have you struggled to get a tax engine big-budget and IT team buy-in to remedy these issues?
- Are you pinning your hopes on a SAP S/4HANA migration (2027 deadline), including salvation with the new SAP Time Dependent Tax (TDT) functionality to create and maintain VAT tax code changes yourself? Spoiler alert: it won’t:
- It will only work on a single SAP instance; and
- SAP TDT functionality for creating and supporting tax codes does not include maintenance of ever changing content – local legislation and EU VAT Directive
- Or are you hoping that you’ll get approval under the cover of the business reorganisation of a major ERP upgrade for a tax engine license implementation plus pricey support budget?
If the answer is ‘yes’ to all these, then think again.
