When your business crosses borders, the tax rules, invoice formats, and compliance requirements change with every country you enter. Most expense platforms were not built to handle that. Managing it across multiple vendors is where things tend to go wrong.
Helios and VAT IT have partnered to fix that. VAT recovery and e-Invoicing now sit directly inside the Helios expense management platform. One account, no extra vendors, the full chain handled in one place.
Through VAT IT’s tax engine and global network, every invoice uploaded in Helios is verified, processed, and assessed for VAT recovery automatically, without leaving the existing workflow.
Here is what that looks like in practice:
Invoice verification: Every invoice is checked against the relevant tax authority legislation in real time.
VAT recovery: Foreign VAT recovery runs automatically across cross-border expenses. VAT IT identifies, prepares, submits, and tracks every eligible claim providing tangible ROI efficiency.
e-Invoicing: The built-in eezi engine adapts automatically to 60+ country mandates, with a full audit trail.
You enter the invoice in Helios as normal. The eligibility is provided by VAT IT into the system to provide the end user with immediate Tax Office compliance feedback. The e-invoicing requirements are handled seamlessly end to end. Domestic VAT is calculated for direct inclusion in your VAT returns. Foreign VAT recovery runs automatically and seamlessly via the VAT IT x Helios partnership.
e-Invoicing is standardising across markets faster than most businesses are preparing for. Mandatory mandates are live or in rollout across 60+ countries. Every filing cycle without proper VAT recovery is working capital that does not come back.
VAT IT covers 100+ tax jurisdictions, 70+ foreign reclaim countries, and 60+ e-Invoicing mandates, backed by 25 years of experience and a network of 2,000 tax specialists across more than 30 offices worldwide. The joint solution holds ISO 27001, GDPR, SOC-2, and PEPPOL certifications.
For Helios users operating internationally, this partnership removes the patchwork of vendors and puts VAT recovery and e-Invoicing where the invoices already are.
