VAT in SAP

Are you certain your SAP system can handle the VAT rules?

Many businesses use the ERP system SAP and believe that the system can handle VAT on sales and purchases correctly and in accordance with the Danish VAT rules. However, we often see that the VAT tables – which manage the VAT handling of sales and purchases – are set up by IT people who are not sufficiently familiar with the - at times - complex Danish VAT rules.

Unfortunately, we also often see that it is not until the tax authorities knock on the door that people realize that the system does not comply with the VAT rules. In many cases this means a charge by the tax authorities that could have been avoided.

How do you ensure that the VAT table defines the correct tax code? And how can you be certain that the VAT amount reported to the tax authorities is correct?
