The Taxmarc™ Tax Code Solution provides companies with a logical fixed tax code structure in which the different tax
categories in each country have the same designation. This results in having the same logic for the categorization of
various VAT results in all countries.

Shared Services Centers, as well as the taking of control measures in an efficient and effective way. This leads to
substantial cost savings.
In many countries around the world the VAT revenues make up an important part of the total revenues of the
government.government. Combined with the financial crisis and the need to reduce the budget deficits, VAT rates are changed
frequently. Europe has seen changes in 7 countries in the period 02/01/2012-‐02/01/2013.
The change of a VAT rate has a huge impact on an ERP system. Due to design limitations in standard SAP, for every new
VAT rate a new tax code must be set up. As a consequence a significant amount of additional changes are required to
get the new tax code up and running for all SAP transactions.

companies use a considerable amount of tax codes and risk facing a “shortage” of the necessary tax codes. Multina-‐
tionals have asked SAP for a solution over the last couple of years, but to date, SAP has not complied with the request.
