PXS - VAT Return and partial exemption automation

PXS is an automated VAT solution that can be integrated into your VAT return preparation, reporting, analysis and modelling processes – specifically designed for the challenges of partial exemption.

The Key Benefits of PXS

1. Making Tax Digital

PXS integrates with Deloitte’s myInsight VAT Return Filer, allowing for returns to be filed via our API-link. The automation of the calculation in PXS also meets HMRC’s “Digital Links” requirement for April 2020, and as part of implementation any existing manual steps in the data flows would be addressed.

2. Senior Accounting Officer (SAO) sign-off

Removing manual processes and introducing a comprehensive audit trail significantly increases confidence in the VAT return process for SAO sign-off.

3. Multi-jurisdictional application

PXS can be operated across a number of jurisdictions globally, allowing a business to manage its partial exemption / pro rata VAT calculations either centrally using one solution or locally with the solution implemented.

4. Automation of manual processes

The software significantly reduces VAT return and partial exemption calculation preparation workload and time requirements. Manual errors are minimised whilst users maintain close control and enhanced visibility of all data for review, including a clear audit trail.

5. Data analytics and management reporting functionality

PSX allows users to perform data analysis with data interrogation bespoke to the specific challenges within the compliance process. Statistical and graphical information available based on data input also helps to enhance management reporting.

6. Partial exemption modelling

PXS allows for modelling of partial exemption special methods or business changes (e.g. acquisitions). Allocations, sectors and recovery methods can be easily adjusted, with an analysis of the impact to the VAT position.
