The challenges we face
The product improves business regulatory compliance and helps reduce the VAT gap and increases tax recovery and thus benefits governments worldwide. Moreover, it improves efficiency by automating global format and standards translations and by eliminating errors and busywork in important sectors, e.g., the healthcare and the public sector, where Pagero has a large customer base. This also helps reduce the environmental footprint by reducing paper use.

How does Pagero help?
Reality today
Corporates struggle to meet compliance regulations due to a lack of a standardized process for business communications, leading to a widened VAT gap.
Pagero approach
Pagero automates business transactions between stakeholders to ensure compliance regulations are met across markets.
Aspirational future
Non-compliance and VAT loss is mitigated and efficiencies in transactions are realized, benefitting the government and the environment.
Who is impacted?
Civilians benefit as the VAT gap is diminished, generating more resources for governments. Emerging economies benefit disproportionately from expanded financial infrastructure. The planet benefits from minimizing the carbon footprint of financial transactions.
What are the impact considerations?
Additionality
Pagero enables corporate stakeholders to comply with regulations across markets and minimize the VAT gap.
Risks
Impact is less clear if Pagero primarily works in markets where the VAT gap is meaningfully more present.
