Be VAT-Compliant for AP
Tipalti VAT features are designed to help you with VAT compliance to strengthen your position if you are ever subject to HMRC VAT inspection. You can require all payees to provide their VAT IDs during onboarding. Tipalti will then validate the format. When you receive invoices, Tipalti will highlight if the VAT ID on the invoice is the same as the validated VAT ID, so you can submit your VAT return with peace of mind. Moreover, our AI engine will help you auto-code VAT with the codes imported from your ERP on both header and individual line-item levels. Tipalti will highlight if there is any discrepancy between a header VAT amount and lines VAT amount.
