As tax authorities continue to work toward modernizing VAT Compliance and Reporting, they identify new tools and techniques that help them understand what’s happening in a business and if it is compliant with VAT and other governmental regulations. One such tool is the Standard Audit File for Tax or SAF-T. The SAF-T comes out of a set of OECD standards, and the hope was it would contain details from the general ledger and the VAT Returns in a standard way for taxpayers to report worldwide. Unfortunately, the only thing that’s standard SAF-T is its name; many countries have adopted different formats and added their internal requirements making it a more complicated replacement of a VAT Return.
