What I like about Tax Automation is that you get a Big Four accounting firm experience combined with what feels like a very personal service. I have also recommended Tax Automation to other people in the industry.

Client testimonials
We wanted to implement a solution that would enable us to have more control around our VAT Returns and payments processes and a clear audit trail and VAT Controller has helped us achieve this. Another key benefit is that it puts all the data into one central location. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the product.
The work that Tax Automation has undertaken has enabled us to put our VAT spreadsheets together more efficiently. Where we used to input manually and copy and paste from other documentation, this has now been completely automated.
We started off with what we thought was one small need around our internal approval controls and, thanks to Tax Automation’s VAT Controller, the solution we developed was a completely streamlined, end-to-end VAT returns payment process.
VAT Controller has given us the control and governance that we needed. It provides us with due diligence and an audit trail. Authorised senior people can sign off on the numbers with confidence – they can log into VAT Controller and all the information is there.
