SunTec has partnered with Ahlibank, Oman, to provide its GCC VAT compliance solution. SunTec claims that its VAT compliance solution will help Ahlibank automate the end-to-end VAT compliance process, manage regulatory changes, and seamlessly integrate it with the existing IT ecosystem. Approximately 3 billion transactions per annum are processed through SunTec’s GCC VAT/ GST compliance solution across its client base.
VAT is likely to be introduced in Oman in early 2021 and Ahlibank has taken the proactive step of adopting a VAT compliance solution to ensure operational efficiency, enhance revenue, and augment customer experience. The win is a landmark one for SunTec as it marks the 50th customer for its indirect taxation solution. SunTec has garnered 24 customers in India and this is the 26th customer in the Middle East to acquire the solution.
