Recoverable VAT: the blind spot in your expense claims

In most companies, a significant share of recoverable VAT on business expenses is never identified, because the data was never structured for VAT. Manual reconciliation, inconsistent invoice formats, VAT rules that differ from country to country make the effort look larger than the return. The VAT stays unclaimed, and cash is lost.

If any of these challenges sound familiar, VAT4U and Arago can make a difference:

  • The data in your expense management tool is incomplete, and not structured with VAT in mind.
  • Matching invoices to expenses takes up significant manual effort, and is hard to scale across several countries.
  • E-invoicing and country-specific reporting obligations turn incomplete data into a compliance risk.
  • You have no consolidated view of the VAT actually recovered on your travel expenses.

VAT4U and Arago: two complementary areas of expertise, one integration

Arago implements and evolves your SAP Concur set-up: configuring expense workflows, managing change, and providing post go-live support. VAT4U connects to your Concur environment and automates VAT recovery end to end, on both domestic and foreign VAT.

Thanks to the certified bi-directional API between VAT4U and SAP Concur, expense data flows to VAT4U automatically, and recoverable VAT, compliance feedback and enriched data flow back into SAP Concur .

The concrete benefits for your finance teams

What the VAT4U integration brings to your expense management:

  • More VAT recovered: eligible VAT on travel expenses (hotels, meals, transport) is identified systematically, domestic and foreign
  • Less manual work: data flows automatically between SAP Concur and VAT4U, with no re-keying and no line-by-line checks by your team.
  • Improved compliance: every invoice is checked against the VAT rules in force in each country, so errors are caught before the claim, not at the audit.
  • Consolidated visibility: recovered VAT data tracked country by country in VAT4U, and validated data flows back into Concur for your accounting.
