UK company with a German subsidiary

Consolidate UK PAYE and German payroll into one ledger. File MTD VAT in London and UStVA in Berlin from one login — your Steuerberater gets a clean DATEV export.

German Mittelstand entering the UK

MTD VAT is mandatory for UK-registered businesses from day one. Marchant handles the UK filing without your German team learning a new tool — ELSTER stays in the same platform.

French group with UK operations

Separate the French TVA returns from the UK VAT submissions, keep a unified chart of accounts, and give your expert-comptable and UK accountant shared visibility — no file exports between tools.

UK construction firm expanding into Europe

CIS is already handled. When your first EU project starts, French Chorus Pro invoicing or German ZUGFeRD e-invoicing is one toggle away — no new subscription.

Cross-border accounting — frequently asked questions

Can one Marchant account cover UK, German and French entities?
Yes. Marchant is designed for multi-market operations. You can run UK MTD VAT, German ELSTER and French Chorus Pro under a single subscription. Each entity's transactions, VAT rules and filing deadlines are kept separate within the same platform.
Is Marchant recognised software for HMRC MTD?
Marchant submits VAT returns directly to HMRC using the MTD API. It is compatible with the Making Tax Digital rules for VAT-registered businesses in the UK.
Can my German Steuerberater access the DATEV export?
Yes. Marchant produces a DATEV-compatible export that your Steuerberater can import directly into their DATEV system. You do not need a separate German accounting tool to share books with a German advisor.
Does Marchant handle Chorus Pro for French public-sector invoicing?
Yes. Chorus Pro is required for invoicing French public-sector bodies (Direction des finances publiques, hospitals, universities, local authorities). Marchant routes those invoices through Chorus Pro and stores the structured Factur-X data for your DGFiP records.
What payroll support is included for cross-border teams?
Payroll runs through BrightPay sync for UK PAYE and RTI. For German and French payroll the platform handles the accounting entries and payslip storage; dedicated payroll bureaus in each country remain best practice for compliance filings.
