Their innovative technology enables the real-time processing of over 10 billion transactions across 180 countries in multiple languages.
During the pandemic, Taxback International has transformed their existing business model to meet the digital transformation happening in the industry.
“Through detailed market assessment and research, we identified the need for a global compliance technology solution backed by VAT expertise,” states Catherine Quirke, CEO.
From this research, they developed Comply, the world’s end-to-end VAT compliance platform for global businesses. This digital platform transforms how a business prepares and files its VAT returns by centralising control on a single platform. Comply also enables secure-on-time cross-border payments to Tax Offices with ease of reconciliation and zero risks. It provides a clear audit trail and cloud-based analytics on a single secure platform giving total control over VAT obligations.
“With our AI and machine-learning algorithm, Comply provides trend analysis and intelligent financial forecasting”, Catherine adds.

Comply represents a new innovative technology built on decades of experience and underpinned by their global VAT expertise.
