Success Stories:
• Case Study 1:
A leading e-commerce retailer operating in multiple European countries faced the challenge of managing VAT filings across various jurisdictions.

By implementing FileVAT, the company centralised and automated the entire filing process. FileVAT efficiently integrated VAT data from various sources and ensured precise and timely submissions to the respective tax authorities. Administrative efforts were reduced by 50%, and compliance accuracy improved significantly. This led to significant cost savings and minimised the risk of penalties. The company’s operations were optimised, and the workflow was greatly enhanced.

With FileVAT, the company accelerated tax return submission while improving reports’ accuracy and reliability. Automating data processing and transmission drastically reduced manual effort, saving costs and minimising the risk of fines. This resulted in better financial planning and resource allocation.
