VAT Liability in SAP

VAT Guarantee in SAP is a solution designed for automated control of supplier and customer bank accounts against the list published by the Slovak Financial Administration, in line with legislation effective from 1.1.2022. It ensures account verification at key points in SAP processes (e.g., partner creation, posting, ordering, or payment) and can automatically block payments in case of discrepancies. This eliminates the risk of liability for unpaid VAT and significantly saves time in fulfilling legal obligations.
