Breaking Through Global Indirect Tax Challenges with Vertex O Series Edge

When it comes to managing global indirect tax, the challenges many businesses face today may feel a bit like an insurmountable wall – leaving tax professionals looking for solutions to break through.    

To learn more about these indirect tax challenges, Vertex recently conducted a survey of over 700 senior finance professionals and found for nearly half of respondents, the following are impeding their business goals for growth:

• An increasing need to perform VAT/sales tax calculations and charging at digital point of sale
• Registering with all the local tax authorities in every country they trade in
• Manual indirect tax processes are becoming unsustainable
• Providing accurate and timely sales tax/VAT/GST reporting and returns
• The ever changing/expanding global VAT sales tax rules 

The e-commerce boom has opened the door to new growth opportunities for many companies selling goods and services online. Transacting through online platforms allows organizations to transcend geographic barriers to reach a global audience of buyers. But digital commerce and cross-border trade come with challenges as it relates to effective indirect tax compliance. 

In addition to these challenges, tax authorities continue to implement new rules and regulations to ensure they receive their fair share. These laws and regulations have an impact on everything from the requirements for tax filing and reporting to how purchases are taxed once in the online shopping basket. Businesses who do not manage their indirect tax effectively will not only find it more difficult to scale but could also expose themselves to compliance issues. 

For over 30 years, Vertex has been on the forefront of innovation when it comes to indirect tax solutions to help the world’s leading businesses break through the challenges of managing indirect taxes.
