AI-Powered VAT Validation for Modern Finance Teams

3 min read

For many finance teams, VAT number checks are still a painful mix of manual lookups, screenshots, and Excel lists.
Different portals, rate limits, and missing documentation make life hard – especially when your business operates across multiple EU countries.

That's exactly why we built Taxora: an AI-powered VAT compliance platform that centralises UID checks, adds transparency, and keeps you audit-ready – without slowing your team down.


The real problem: fragmented VAT checks

A typical EU company today:

  • looks up VAT numbers in VIES,
  • sometimes uses local tools like FinanzOnline (FON),
  • stores results somewhere in Excel, ERP notes, or network folders,
  • and hopes everything will still be traceable in three or five years.

The result:

  • No unified view of which partner was checked when
  • No clear audit trail for authorities or auditors
  • High risk of manual mistakes and duplicated work
  • A lot of time lost for simple, repetitive tasks

Taxora: one hub for all VAT checks

Taxora connects to official sources (e.g. VIES, national portals) and adds an intelligent layer on top:

  • A central dashboard for all VAT checks
  • Automatic provider selection and status tracking
  • Downloadable VAT certificates with timestamp and provider reference
  • A clear history for every business partner

Instead of multiple tools and screenshots, you get one place that knows exactly:

"Which UID was checked, when, via which provider, with which result?"

This is not only convenient – it's a huge plus when auditors, tax advisors, or internal stakeholders have questions.


The AI-Score: more context for better decisions

Official systems usually give you a binary answer: valid or invalid.
In reality, the world is more nuanced:

  • The company name is written slightly differently
  • The address changed but the VAT number is still valid
  • The shop or ERP uses a shortened brand name

Taxora introduces the AI-Score:
a transparent indicator that compares your partner data with public data sources and highlights inconsistencies.

Examples of what the AI looks at:

  • Name similarity between your record and the official registry
  • Plausibility of address and country
  • Historical behaviour of that VAT number in your checks

The AI-Score does not replace the official check – it adds context so your team can spot risks earlier and document why a case was accepted or escalated.


Built for finance teams and auditors

From day one, Taxora was designed with real-world finance workflows in mind:

  • Long-term storage of certificates and results
  • Clear references to the underlying provider (VIES, FON, etc.)
  • Export options for reports and analytics
  • An API and SDK for direct integration into ERP, shop, or custom tools

Instead of "hidden magic", Taxora focuses on transparency:

  • Every external request is logged
  • Every result is tied to a timestamp and a provider
  • The AI-Score is explainable, not a black box

From manual checks to scalable compliance

Whether you handle a few dozen or tens of thousands of VAT checks per month – Taxora helps you:

  • Save time on repetitive lookups
  • Reduce risk through centralised documentation
  • Increase transparency for auditors and internal stakeholders
  • Prepare your finance team for AI-supported compliance – without losing control

If you want to move from "Excel and screenshots" to a modern, AI-enabled VAT process, Taxora is built for you.
