Background and challenges

As one of the world’s leading non-audit tax practices, WTS Global provides a full spectrum of tax services to multinational and mid-sized enterprises across more than 100 countries. With VAT requirements evolving rapidly, especially under initiatives like VAT in the Digital Age (VIDA), WTS needed a flexible, future-proof solution that could scale with client complexity and ensure compliance across jurisdictions. 

WTS sought a digital platform to enhance the delivery of its VAT compliance services without the time, cost and distraction of building a system in-house. 

Solution

WTS Global partnered with Fintua to implement Comply, our flagship VAT compliance solution. Comply automates the management of VAT obligations globally. It supports a wide array of country-specific requirements, ensuring full compliance in a landscape of constantly evolving tax regulations.

  • Digitally manage complex VAT workflows across jurisdictions 
  • Scale services quickly without increasing internal resource burden 
  • Enhance visibility, governance, and control for client engagements
