Abstract: A computing system receives an invoice and matches, based on a country in which a carrier of the shipment is established, a country in which a recipient of the shipment is established, an origin country of the shipment, and a destination country of the shipment, the invoice to a row in a buyer-specified configuration matrix. The computing system determines, based on the identified row in the buyer-specified configuration matrix, whether a buyer or the shipper is responsible for payment of value-added tax (VAT) on the shipment. If the buyer is responsible for payment of the VAT on the shipment, the computing system includes a line item in the invoice that indicates that the buyer is responsible for payment of the VAT on the shipment. The computing system provides the invoice to the buyer.
