Derzeitige Situation

As one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, with over 58,000 employees, Teva operates across highly complex international supply chains. With sales spanning more than 60 countries, ensuring consistent and compliant VAT determination was a significant challenge. Manual interventions, fragmented processes, and varying local compliance requirements created risk and inefficiency for finance teams.

To address this, Teva partnered with Meridian Globale Dienstleistungen to implement the Meridian VAT Add-On for SAP – a solution designed to automate VAT determination and reporting directly within SAP ERP and S/4HANA environments.

Before: Tax challenges for Teva

The objective of the project was to implement a global VAT automation solution that would streamline tax determination and compliance across Teva’s diverse business units, reducing manual intervention and increasing accuracy. The project aimed to deliver a scalable system that could be rolled out to new markets and to build confidence in a model that would enable tax teams to self-deploy the solution as the organisation continued to expand.
