Look up VAT categories for an invoice country
Give your finance review a useful starting point: extract the invoice country and retrieve its VAT categories in one workflow.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get VAT Categories
Retrieve VAT rate categories for a country, including standard, reduced, and special rates.
Why this helps
Finding the relevant VAT categories adds another lookup step when reviewing invoices from different countries.
- Retrieve standard, reduced, and special VAT categories for the extracted country.
- Keep a country-based lookup with the processed invoice report.
- Avoid a separate manual search for VAT category information.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Abstract once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create the automation in plain language from any channel, or in Automations, New Automation in the portal.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to process the submitted invoice with Affinda, identify its country, and retrieve that country's VAT categories with Abstract.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real invoice and review the extracted country and returned categories.
Questions about this workflow
Does this determine the correct VAT rate for a specific line item?
No. Abstract returns VAT categories for a country. The workflow does not establish which category applies to a particular product or service.
What if the invoice country cannot be extracted?
Notis can report that the country was not identified, and the VAT lookup may need a country supplied for the request.
