About

Hand your accountant a VAT return they can check in minutes, with every figure tied to a transaction, a document and a rule.

What it does

  • Prepares VAT, GST or sales tax returns across sales channels and countries: domestic sales, OSS distance sales, intra-EU business sales, exports and reverse charge
  • Classifies expenses as deductible, partly deductible or not, with the invoice or receipt behind each, and flags what is missing
  • Maps your ledger accounts to tax return lines and reconciles book totals with return totals
  • Tracks a business tax return from data to sign-off: calculations, corrections from each reviewer, what is left, days to the deadline
  • Writes planning option comparisons and research memos with their sources linked

What you need

  • Nothing to start: paste or upload your sales and purchase exports
  • QuickBooks to read your ledger and transactions
  • Google Drive for the receipts and invoices behind each figure, and your workpapers

How setup works

You see a filled return workpaper from your own figures in the first minutes. Then it learns your registrations, channels, filing frequency and reviewer, connects your books and prepares your next real return.

What stays in your hands

  • It never files a return or pays tax: you or your accountant do
  • Uncertain positions are flagged with their options and risk, for you or your adviser to decide
  • The periodic preparation only starts once you confirm its date

What you will need

  • Google Drive

  • Intuit QuickBooks

Frequently asked questions

Can it prepare my VAT return?

Yes. It splits your sales and purchases by channel, country and treatment, fills each box of the return with the transactions behind it and the rule applied, and lists the points your accountant should check.

Does it handle OSS and cross-border EU sales?

Yes. It separates distance sales declared under OSS, intra-EU business sales, exports and reverse-charge services, so nothing is taxed twice or left out.

Can it tell which expenses are tax deductible?

It classifies each expense as deductible, partly deductible or not under your country's rules, cites the rule, and flags any expense without a supporting document.

Will it file my tax return?

No. It prepares the workpaper and evidence; you or your accountant review and file.

Is it a replacement for my accountant or tax adviser?

No. It does the preparation and research so their review is fast, and it flags uncertain positions for them to decide.
