Changing the Paradigm in VAT Compliance

February 19, 2026 Solutions

For some years now, most VAT compliance tools promise efficiency, a few offer workflow improvements and nearly all get rid of the need for excel spreadsheets. These are the basics now.

Meridian’s ARCO Compliance is next‑generation, built from the ground up by VAT compliance experts for VAT compliance people. Sitting entirely within your SAP system, there are no external connections and your data goes nowhere.

It is a new model for how VAT compliance should operate.

Because ARCO sits inside your SAP system:

  • Your data never leaves your environment
  • There are no data security or sovereignty risks
  • There are no integrations to maintain, monitor or fix
  • Live SAP data flows continuously into the compliance process for all entities and SAP instances globally.

This enables a completely new way of working:

  • No more waiting for month‑end close to begin VAT processes
  • Daily review and correction of transactional data, allowing for continuous data quality control
  • No data uploads into separate systems or complex API’s to build and maintain.
  • Seamless use of SAP’s AI Joule across both your SAP data and ARCO’s compliance data

E‑invoicing and near real‑time reporting demand a modern approach. ARCO delivers it – securely, natively, and with the depth of 35+ years of European VAT experience behind it.
