1. 55 jurisdictions, Cyprus as home
VAT is read across 55 jurisdictions (EU member states, the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and a range of Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Americas, and African regimes), with Cyprus as the home regime at 19% standard, 9% and 5% reduced, and 0% zero-rated. Whatever rate a document declares is the rate Pileform applies; it never normalises a foreign receipt to a single local rate.
2. Per line, not per receipt
Rates are read per line item, not per receipt, so a single till receipt mixing, say, 5% water, 19% supplies, and 0% catering still reconciles to the printed gross, rather than being forced onto one blended rate. Inclusive-versus-exclusive pricing is detected in around 11 languages (phrases like "incl. 6% GST," "ΦΠΑ συμπεριλαμβάνεται," or "TTC"), with the source phrase kept in the workbook for audit, catching the most expensive posting mistake: treating an inclusive total as a net subtotal.
3. Reverse charge and cash rounding
Reverse-charge invoices (Article 196 / Directive 2006/112/EC and multilingual equivalents) are detected automatically. Cyprus's habit of rounding cash payments to the nearest 5¢ at the till is handled by the Adjustment column, which surfaces the small gap explicitly rather than fudging a figure to force a balance. Rate plausibility is checked and, where it looks off, flagged, never silently corrected. Country itself is inferred per document from whichever signal is available, VAT ID, address, currency, or language, so a pile spanning several countries doesn't need pre-sorting.
