Why does Connectax VAT Manager eVAT M2M offer more than an eVAT XML generator?

eVAT-compatible operation

The eVAT system introduces a new operating logic for VAT return preparation: VAT reporting is increasingly based on data-driven, transaction-level checks and digital reporting processes. Accordingly, Connectax VAT Manager eVAT M2M is not merely a return preparation tool, but a digital solution that also verifies the data underlying the VAT return.

The solution supports:

• the generation of eVAT XML as part of the standard VAT Manager operation;
• the preparation of a structured VAT reporting file that can be used on the eVAT web interface;
• an optional eVAT M2M connection to the NAV eVAT system;
• the display of response messages and statuses received from the NAV eVAT M2M system;
• the more integrated handling of VAT return and VAT analytics data in a controlled software environment;
• data structure, tax technical and process-related preparation for the transition to eVAT.

Source file-based, ERP-independent data processing

Users do not need to arrange their data into a fixed standard template. During implementation, the solution can be configured to the company’s own source files and data logic.

Connectax VAT Manager:

• can be integrated with ERP, accounting, invoicing or other corporate systems from which the data required for VAT reporting can be extracted in digital format;
• handles client-specific source files, Excel-based exports, custom invoice lists, master data and VAT analytics reports;
• can be configured during implementation to define how the system should read, interpret and process the given source file;
• creates a processed VAT Manager data file based on the structure and field logic of the source file, which then serves as the basis for checks, reports and VAT reporting files;
• does not require the installation of new client-side software, as the solution is available on a cloud-based SaaS model.

Automatic VAT checks and data reconciliations

The system is designed to identify, before the VAT return is submitted, those discrepancies that would be time-consuming to detect manually or might otherwise only be discovered later during a NAV inquiry, tax authority review or internal reconciliation.

The solution supports:

• reconciliation of outgoing and incoming invoices with NAV Online Invoice / RTIR data;
• invoice-level and line-item-level checks, including, among others, the performance date, partner VAT number, tax base, VAT amount and gross amount;
• identification of potentially duplicate invoice data;
• partner VAT number checks for Hungarian and EU VAT numbers;
• comparison between periods and detection of double VAT deduction.

NAV RTIR integration and partner checks

The optional NAV RTIR integration of VAT Manager enables the company’s VAT data to be automatically compared with the data available in the NAV Online Invoice system. This supports the early identification of data reporting discrepancies, missing invoices and data quality issues.

The Partner Check service supports the verification of domestic and EU VAT numbers. Hungarian VAT numbers can be checked against the NAV database, while EU VAT numbers can be validated through the VIES system. The results can be linked to the VAT reporting data in a traceable manner.
