About

Built by a VAT expert,
not an algorithm

VATCompass exists because too many businesses discover their EU VAT exposure after it becomes expensive. We built a service that gets you clarity fast — before the problem finds you.

Why VATCompass exists

Most businesses don't know they have a VAT problem until a tax authority tells them

EU VAT is one of the most complex indirect tax regimes in the world. Thresholds differ by country. Rules change when you store inventory abroad. Marketplace platforms trigger obligations you never expected. And the penalties for non-compliance are real: back-taxes, interest, and registration obligations that can stretch back years.

Yet for most growing businesses — especially those scaling into Europe from the US, UK, or further afield — VAT compliance is not top of mind until something goes wrong.

VATCompass was created to close that gap. A fast, affordable, expert-led screening report that tells you where you stand across all 27 EU member states — before you get a letter from a tax authority.
