Accelerate your marketplace growth while staying in compliance with Europe VAT requirements.
Online marketplace operators selling into Europe face a complex challenge of VAT/GST liability, tax calculation, and currency conversion according to the latest marketplace facilitator rules in every country. Making sure the correct VAT/GST is charged on every invoice, and the VAT amount is remitted to the proper jurisdictions each month adds steps to the marketplace operation.
Vertex for Marketplaces integrates with your e-commerce or marketplace platform to automate invoicing and tax, keeping you current on the latest country and local rates and rules, and streamlining the seller and customer journey so you can focus on accelerating growth.
A continually updated database of tax rules and rates support the latest regional and jurisdiction-specific VAT/GST requirements for Europe. You’ll increase confidence in tax determination and reduce audit risk.
Validate business tax numbers in real-time allowing your business to offer reverse charge (no VAT/GST charge) to business customers in countries that support the reverse charge rule.

LILA is the real-time determination of tax liability at the line-item level. For example, in a customer’s checkout basket there may be multiple products from different sellers and for different prices. It is conceivable that each line item also results in a different tax liability assignment. The marketplace operator could be liable for the collection and remittance of tax on some products, while the sellers on the same marketplace may be liable for tax collection/remittance on others. The LILA feature in Vertex for Marketplaces automatically calculates how thresholds and the origin of the goods may affect liability, including converting the sale currency to the threshold currency where applicable.
