Built for UK teams trading across borders
UK company with a German subsidiary
File MTD VAT and track CIS in London today, with UK PAYE through the BrightPay sync coming soon. Each company keeps its own workspace — group consolidation is coming soon. German payroll accounting, UStVA via ELSTER and the DATEV export for your Steuerberater are planned for 2028.
German Mittelstand entering the UK
MTD VAT is mandatory for UK-registered businesses from day one, and Marchant handles that filing. German ELSTER stays with your existing German software until Marchant's 2028 launch.
French group with UK operations
Keep a unified chart of accounts and give your expert-comptable and UK accountant shared visibility. UK VAT submissions today; French TVA returns are planned for 2028.
UK construction firm expanding into Europe
CIS is already handled. French Chorus Pro invoicing and German ZUGFeRD e-invoicing are planned for 2028 — no new subscription when they arrive.
One tool vs three siloed tools
Cross-border accounting — frequently asked questions
- Can one Marchant account cover UK, German and French entities?
- Not today. Marchant covers the UK entity — bookkeeping, invoicing and MTD VAT filing to HMRC. German ELSTER and French Chorus Pro are part of the launches planned for 2028, so a group operating in all three still needs local tools for the German and French sides until then.
- Is Marchant recognised software for HMRC MTD?
- Marchant prepares VAT returns to the Making Tax Digital rules for VAT-registered businesses in the UK. Direct submission over the MTD API is supported, with rollout pending HMRC production approval. Marchant is not yet on HMRC's recognised-software list.
- Can my German Steuerberater access the DATEV export?
- Not yet. DATEV export is part of the German launch planned for 2028. Our DATEV guide explains the EXTF Buchungsstapel format your Steuerberater expects, but Marchant does not produce it today.
- Does Marchant handle Chorus Pro for French public-sector invoicing?
- Not yet. Chorus Pro is required for invoicing French public-sector bodies, and it is part of the French launch planned for 2028. Our Factur-X guide covers how the mandate works; Marchant does not submit to Chorus Pro today.
- What payroll support is included for cross-border teams?
- UK payroll through BrightPay sync for PAYE and RTI is coming soon. German and French payroll accounting — posting payroll journals and storing payslips — is part of the 2028 launch: planned, not shipped. Dedicated payroll bureaus in each country remain best practice for the compliance filings themselves.
