1Line-level accuracy stops being optional
Standard-rated, zero-rated, exempt and reverse-charge treatment must be right per line, because that is the granularity the data carries.
Your VAT obligations have not changed. What has changed is that the Federal Tax Authority will hold invoice-level data alongside your returns, and discrepancies that used to require an audit to find will now be visible without one.
Four things worth understanding properly before you spend money on anything.
Standard-rated, zero-rated, exempt and reverse-charge treatment must be right per line, because that is the granularity the data carries.
If your VAT return says one thing and the sum of your transmitted invoices says another, that gap is now visible. Build reconciliation into your monthly routine.
Reverse-charge supplies are a common source of misclassification, and misclassification at line level is more consequential than it used to be.
Businesses that get this right end up with far better VAT data than they had before, which makes filing faster and audits shorter.
Do these first and every later decision becomes cheaper and clearer.
Short, practical answers. If yours is not here, ask us directly — we answer even if you never become a client.
The obligations are the same. The visibility is different, which raises the practical importance of line-level accuracy and of reconciling invoices to returns.
Run a reconciliation between a closed period's invoices and the VAT return for that period. Any gap you find now is a gap you fix cheaply.
The model routes invoice data to the tax authority as part of the exchange, which is what makes it a continuous transaction control system.
Most businesses will need something sitting between their sales desk and their Accredited Service Provider — a system that creates a proper structured invoice, holds the customer data the standard demands, and keeps a record an auditor will accept. That is what we build, and because we build it ourselves we can shape it around your business rather than asking you to reshape your business around a product.
