Case Study: Duracell achieves near-real-time VAT compliance in Spain with Vertex Inc.

Duracell - Customer Case Study

Duracell faced Spain’s new Suministro Inmediato de Información (SII) rules requiring near‑real‑time XML invoice reporting every few days, a step change in workload and compliance risk (with penalties up to €6,000 per quarter). To meet the challenge, Duracell engaged tax‑technology provider Vertex, using Vertex’s VAT compliance systems alongside Duracell’s own technology to avoid major operational changes while addressing the new filing regime.

Vertex implemented a solution to extract, clean, validate and transmit Duracell’s transactional data, automating daily submissions and embedding pre‑submission quality checks. By using Vertex’s platform Duracell moved to daily filings, reduced the risk of rejected or erroneous returns and potential penalties, streamlined its end‑to‑end VAT processes, and improved data quality and issue resolution speed.
