vatli.aiWhat does Vatli reconcile?
Vatli is being built for finance teams that need to understand whether their source-based calculations agree with a declaration. The workflow brings imports, country-specific classification, comparison and working exports into one review. Sweden is the first implemented country module; public access is currently through the waiting list.
Your comparison figures are entered into the reconciliation view. The current workflow does not pull a return automatically from a tax authority. Keeping the origin of those figures clear is part of a useful review.
From source workbook to a reviewable difference
- Bring in the source records.
Import supported XLSX files or a ZIP batch. Review the files and period before committing the import. The current Swedish importer expects supported workbook layouts; arbitrary ERP files may need mapping.
- Calculate using the country module.
Source lines are classified into the relevant VAT boxes. Tax-code totals and consistency checks help you inspect the calculation behind the return.
- Compare like with like.
Compare the same entity, period and currency. The VAT view shows calculated, comparison and difference amounts by box. EU Sales List and Intrastat have comparison controls at totals level.
- Investigate before closing.
Trace a difference to its source, review the supporting evidence and explain any adjustment. Working reports help retain the context for the next reviewer.
A match is a starting point for confidence
A zero difference means the compared amounts agree. It does not by itself establish that every source record is complete, correctly classified or included in the right tax period. The workflow keeps human review visible rather than treating a matching total as an automatic compliance sign-off.
The homepage walkthrough uses fictional Swedish data and an invoice with two VAT rates booked as one line. It illustrates how to investigate a box-level difference: the invoice, not the booked amounts, shows which rates apply.
Built around finance teams’ review work
For an in-house finance team, the useful output is a documented explanation of the return. For an accounting or tax adviser, it is a working file that another reviewer can follow. For a group with several entities, the modular country design is intended to keep the review process familiar as coverage develops.
Start with the Swedish module’s current scope, then inspect the sample reconciliation workbook. Automated reminders remain a planned workflow; the introductory site does not provide access to a production tax filing service.
