Preparing the answer

Under the general B2B place-of-supply rule the service is taxed where the customer is established.
So the UK supplier invoices without domestic VAT,
and the customer accounts for it under the reverse charge.

Cited, defensible research

Every answer traces to the actual paragraph, act or directive — ready for the moment a partner, a client or a regulator asks how you got there.

The client’s real numbers

Connected to QUiCK, Számlázz.hu and Barion, azta answers from live invoices, cashflow and VAT positions — not from a spreadsheet export.

The deliverable, drafted

Research becomes a client-ready memo, letter or email — drafted for you, edited by you, sent in minutes.

Every seat at the firm

Not one person’s tool.
The whole firm’s co-worker.

azta earns its place because every role gets something different out of the same co-worker — that’s what makes it daily, not occasional.

Partner · firm owner

Capacity that compounds.

Every engagement turns faster and every answer is defensible when a client — or a regulator — pushes back. The firm takes on more because every person can do more.

Senior advisor

Delegate without dread.

Hand research down knowing what comes back is cited to the paragraph and follows one method. Reviews take minutes, because the reasoning is on the page.

Junior · accountant

Senior depth from day one.

Never start from a blank page. Research at senior depth, learn from the visible reasoning, and deliver work you’re proud to put your name under.

A day with azta

Where it fits,
hour by hour.

  1. 08:40New client call — the assistant turns your notes into a meeting memo before the coffee is cold.
  2. 09:10The client’s contracts and statements arrive by email — dropped into the engagement’s workspace, read and cited.
  3. 10:00The cross-border VAT question — treaty position, local rules and citations from one question.
  4. 11:30The advisory letter drafts itself in Canvas; you tighten two paragraphs with Ask azta.
  5. 12:15Letterhead and disclaimer apply automatically; a read-only link goes to the partner for review.
