VAT Determination

The Sabrix VAT Manager evaluates the invoice, the address, and other information passed as part of the invoice, automatically determines the buyer's VAT obligation in all jurisdictions, and calculates the correct tax. Sabrix also evaluates taxation based on the presence or absence of local registration by the buyer and seller. Once the jurisdictions for a transaction have been determined, customer and product information is utilized to identify if exemptions or special rates might apply.

The Sabrix VAT Manager delivers all required accounting entries for VAT transactions including:

  • Standard Input and Output VAT
  • Import VAT
  • Export Sales
  • Acquisitions
  • Reverse Charges
  • Distance Sales

Special EU Calculations

Sabrix meets the requirements of the European Union (EU) countries which have different tax laws depending upon the type of transaction and the countries involved. Sabrix addresses these complexities by incorporating laws derived from the Sixth Directive and EU country-specific laws into VAT determination. When transactions cross borders, consideration for VAT registration, type of transaction, location of the parties involved, and special Inco Terms are all appropriately applied when determining VAT obligations. The Sabrix VAT Manager comes ready to manage all special requirements for doing business in the EU, including generating data to enable VAT reporting, and:
