VATReady

VATReady is a web app (with optional mobile companion) that helps small businesses and accountants prepare VAT returns with defensible, audit-friendly evidence trails. It connects to Shopify, Stripe, Square, Amazon, and Xero/QuickBooks to pull transactions, then flags common VAT errors: wrong tax codes, mixed-rate bundles, refunds/chargebacks, EU/UK place-of-supply issues, and missing VAT invoices. It generates a “return pack” (calculations, exceptions list, invoice links, and rationale notes) so users can explain numbers quickly. This is a combination traditional + AI app: AI is used to classify ambiguous items and draft explanations, but users must approve changes. The harsh truth: competing on “easy VAT filing” is crowded; the only real wedge is reducing accountant time and audit risk with better reconciliation and evidence, not prettier dashboards.
