Practically with all of them. If your current billing software is not suitable for real-time data supply, it does not have to be replaced as Connectax can be used with any billing software that meets three important technical requirements.

  1. Your program has to be able to produce invoices in XML format that is required by the tax authority.
  2. Do this in a fully automated manner at the time the invoice is closed.
  3. You can store this XML file in a remote, dedicated Connectax storage area, which will trigger the billing report, indicating the request for data supply.

Our VAT and IT specialists help you produce the XML file by giving you tailored advice. Our experts build XML file templates based on actual invoice samples from your billing system, therefore you get one XML file template for each type of invoice (invoice, proforma invoice, corrective invoice, summary invoice, etc.),making it easier for you to set up automated data retrieval in your billing system.

The implementation time largely depends on the complexity of the invoicing practice and the billing system. Access to Connectax can be provided within a few days of signing the contract. If you also require assistance from our consultants in the generation of XML invoices, the review of billing practices or XML validation, you should start to test the data supply only after you have resolved them all. From our team of experts, a dedicated customer relationship adviser helps you to successfully implement real-time invoice data supply.

Certainly! Proportionately to the increasing amount of business data, there is an increasing trend of and efforts for modernizing all-round invoicing and invoice processing to ease the administrative burden of taxpayers and to increase domestic performance by whitening the economy.

A new service introduced in the latest schema includes the possibility for taxpayers to use the same invoice data document as an electronic invoice, while submitting it to the Tax Authority.
