Abacus is available as a managed service, a self-serve SaaS platform, or a combination of both depending on your needs. With our managed service, VAT IT’s compliance experts handle your filings, registrations, and submissions on your behalf. With SaaS, you get direct access to the platform to manage your own compliance workflows. Whichever model you choose, the difference is simply in who does the work.
Abacus provides support for multiple filing types across the globe — from Intrastat and One Stop Shop filings in Europe to Sales Tax Returns in the United States. We provide coverage across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, and South America.
Abacus is built to support your organisation's structure, whether that means multiple registrations sitting under a single entity, or multiple entities sitting under a single account. However your business is set up, Abacus can accommodate it.
Yes, in many jurisdictions. Where an API connection with the tax authority exists, submissions are handled automatically with no manual intervention required. In other jurisdictions, Abacus generates automated XML or CSV documents to simplify the submission process and reduce the risk of human error. For jurisdictions that still require manual submission, our managed service clients have this handled entirely by our dedicated Filing Team. SaaS clients manage their own submissions directly within the platform, though we can also accommodate filing on behalf of SaaS clients where needed.
Abacus supports a wide range of file formats, including CSV, XLS, PNG, PDF, and TXT, among others. Whether you're uploading transaction data or providing invoices directly, Abacus is built to handle it.
The My Compliance Overview gives you a centralised summary of your current filings — providing a global view of what is outstanding, in progress, and filed within the current month. It also simplifies monitoring by clearly indicating where action is required and where none is needed.
When filings are set up, deadlines are configured accurately from the outset. Our team of Tax Managers continuously monitor jurisdiction rules and requirements, ensuring that all filing deadlines remain current and up to date.
This webinar explains how US businesses can identify and recover foreign VAT, breaking down key concepts like reciprocity and showing where refund opportunities are often missed.
