What is the compliance process when I expand
into a new market?
+
We check whether and when you need to register,
set up the registration (with a fiscal representative
if the country requires one), then add the market
to your filing calendar. Your specialist runs it
from the first return. Depending on the country,
this takes from a few days to a few weeks.
How many contact points will I have at VAT IT?
+
One. A dedicated specialist who knows your
business, backed by regional experts behind
the scenes. No call centres, no repeating yourself.
Does your AI have usage limits?
+
No. AI is built into the platform for every
client, not sold by the query, and every client
has a named specialist behind it. Some providers
cap or charge for AI use, and stop there.
What happens if we breach sales thresholds?
+
Ideally, nothing surprising: real-time monitoring
flags you before you cross one. If you already
have, we register you, work out what's owed
and handle any voluntary disclosure with
the tax office.
How do you maintain your own tax engine?
+
Our specialists track rate and rule changes
across every jurisdiction we cover and update
the engine, drawing on 25+ years of indirect
tax data and regional relationships.
What are the benefits of using VAT IT
for compliance and
e-Invoicing?
+
One partner, one data flow. E-invoices from VAT IT
e-Invoicing
feed straight into your returns, so there's less
reconciling and fewer mismatches for a tax
authority to question.
Does your compliance platform run the full
filing process?
+
Yes. It takes in your data, validates it,
prepares your returns and supporting declarations,
and files them with the tax authority once
they're approved, with AI agents supporting
the filing. Tax office queries and audits
are handled by your specialist.
How does your self-service option work?
+
Your team runs compliance on the same platform,
with the same rules engine, validations and
direct filing. You prepare and approve your
own returns, with a specialist available
on chat whenever you need one.
How long does a VAT registration take?
+
It depends on the country, but most registrations
take from a few days to a few weeks. We give you
the expected timeline for each country upfront
and follow up with the tax office until your
number is issued.
Do we need a fiscal representative,
and is there a deposit?
+
Some countries require non-resident businesses
to appoint one, and some ask for a bank guarantee
or deposit because the representative shares
liability for your VAT. We act as your fiscal
representative where it's required and tell you
upfront what each country asks for.
Can you take over our existing registrations?
+
Yes. Your onboarding consultant prepares the
takeover packs, moves your registrations
across and makes sure every ongoing and
historical filing is covered from day one.
Can we outsource some countries
and keep others in-house?
+
Yes. The managed service and self-service
run on the same platform, so you can hand
some countries to us and file others yourself.
Do we need a local bank account to pay
VAT in each country?
+
No. With VAT Pay, you make one payment and
we distribute it to each tax office on time.
