Tech that makes your EU VAT and Intrastat processes more manageable.
KNIME, Alteryx, Python, dashboards and targeted automation, connected to your existing systems, data and processes
Tech on your existing landscape, not alongside it
TaxPoint does not build a standalone software product that replaces your ERP or data landscape. We work on your existing systems and add the tooling, controls and reporting needed to make EU VAT and Intrastat more manageable and easier to audit
Automation where it pays off
We deploy tooling for recurring controls, reconciliations, data processing and reporting. This reduces manual effort, improves data quality and gives your team greater insight
Data quality and control
We help make VAT and Intrastat data from ERP systems and other sources more usable, with controls that surface issues so you can act in time
This technical support is not separate from our other services. The same tooling, controls and insights can feed through into filing execution, ViDA readiness and broader improvements to your EU VAT approach
Data analysis and automation on your existing landscape
Many VAT and Intrastat processes still rely heavily on Excel, manual checks and local workarounds. TaxPoint reduces those steps with targeted automation on top of your existing ERP, data warehouse and reporting environment, so that the right parts work more efficiently and more consistently
Benefits- Less manual work in recurring controls, reconciliations and reporting
- Better repeatability of processes that are currently person-dependent
- Earlier visibility of deviations and exceptions before the deadline arrives
- Targeted improvements without launching a large IT project first
Data quality as the foundation for predictable filings
Without reliable data, any VAT or Intrastat solution remains vulnerable. That is why we focus on collecting, cleansing, enriching and checking VAT-relevant data from your existing sources. The goal is not an abstract model in itself, but data you can work with, verify and report on
Benefits- Clearer view of missing, inconsistent or illogical data
- Better alignment between source data, controls and final returns
- A stronger starting point for automation and management information
- Less reliance on fragile, manual intermediate steps
From ad-hoc checks to a reusable control framework
We design a reusable framework of VAT controls that you can deploy per country, report type or risk area. This takes you from isolated monthly checks to a coherent set of controls that can be documented, repeated and, where possible, automated
Benefits- Country- and report-specific controls that remain practical to apply
- Greater coherence between process, data and substantive VAT review
- A better-documented basis for further automation and governance
Testing ERP and SAP settings for VAT risks
For ERP and SAP landscapes we carry out targeted VAT Fitness analyses on condition tables, tax procedures, master data and related process configurations. This surfaces gaps, overlaps and hidden risks in the systems where your VAT outcomes effectively start
What this delivers- Insight into where ERP and SAP settings cause or amplify VAT risks
- Concrete improvement actions for condition tables, tax procedures and master data
- Better alignment between system configuration and intended VAT outcomes
- A practical starting point for further controls and automation
KNIME, Alteryx, Python and AI where they add value
We use tooling not as a marketing label, but as a practical means. KNIME and Alteryx flows, Python scripts and targeted AI applications help with data processing, exception handling, reconciliations, analyses and reporting. Which combination is appropriate depends on your systems, volumes and risk areas
In practice: what we build for you- KNIME and Alteryx flows for data ingestion, enrichment and exception handling
- Python scripts for controls, reconciliations and analyses across countries or entities
- AI applications where pattern recognition or triage genuinely adds value
- Output for VAT returns, Intrastat and management reporting that is more repeatable
Dashboards and reporting that are useful in practice
In the dashboard, you want a clear view of positions, deviations and risks. In the reporting layer, the data needs to be reproducible, enriched and explainable. That is why we deliberately separate dashboarding and reporting: first a reliable item-level data layer, then a local environment in which users can search, filter, sort and click through
Dashboards: TaxPoint Intelligence
TaxPoint Intelligence makes ERP data locally searchable and filterable. Not as a public web app, but as a dashboard layer in the client's own environment. Tax, finance and compliance teams can click from stoplights and findings to transactions, source rows and invoice details.

Enhanced Reporting builds the underlying dataset. From limited ERP or VAT exports, such as RFUMS, we bring data back to item level and enrich it with logistics, financial, tax and master data fields for VAT, Intrastat, environmental taxes, customs and finance controls.
Read about TaxPoint Enhanced Report- A clear separation between reliable reporting data and interactive dashboarding
- Direct visibility of VAT, Intrastat and finance risks by country, entity or transaction flow
- Faster search, filtering and explanation than standard ERP reports usually allow
- Better-supported conversations with internal audit, external auditors and tax authorities
