AI Disclaimer

Last updated: 14 May 2026

1. Introduction

VATTY uses artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning, automated extraction, and rule-based systems to analyse invoices, receipts, VAT-related documents, and associated financial information.

This page explains the limitations of AI-generated outputs and the responsibilities of users when using the platform.

2. AI-Assisted Outputs

VATTY may generate automated outputs including:

  • VAT classifications
  • Confidence scores
  • Validation flags
  • Risk indicators
  • Evidence summaries
  • Suggested reclaimability decisions
  • Document analysis and extraction results

These outputs are generated using automated systems and AI models based on uploaded content and available contextual information.

3. No Tax, Legal, or Accounting Advice

VATTY does not provide tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice, or regulatory advice.

AI-generated outputs:

  • Are provided for informational and assistance purposes only
  • Should not be relied upon as definitive professional advice
  • Do not replace professional judgement or review

Users remain solely responsible for:

  • VAT return submissions
  • Tax decisions
  • Accounting treatment
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Verification of extracted or generated information

4. Accuracy Limitations

Although VATTY aims to provide accurate and reliable outputs, AI systems may:

  • Produce incomplete or incorrect information
  • Misclassify transactions or documents
  • Fail to detect contextual or jurisdiction-specific issues
  • Generate inaccurate confidence scores or risk assessments
  • Interpret ambiguous documents incorrectly

Results may vary depending on:

  • Document quality
  • Formatting
  • Handwriting or image clarity
  • Missing information
  • Supplier-specific invoice layouts
  • Jurisdictional VAT rules

5. Human Review Recommended

Users should review AI-generated outputs before relying on them for accounting, VAT, legal, or compliance purposes.

Additional review may be particularly important for:

  • High-value transactions
  • Cross-border transactions
  • Reverse charge scenarios
  • Mixed supplies
  • Entertainment or blocked VAT categories
  • Partially exempt businesses
  • Complex VAT treatments

6. No Guarantee of HMRC Acceptance

Use of VATTY does not guarantee that HMRC or any tax authority will:

  • Accept a VAT reclaim
  • Accept evidence generated through the platform
  • Agree with classifications or risk assessments
  • Accept VAT treatment suggested by AI-generated outputs

Users remain responsible for maintaining sufficient supporting evidence and ensuring compliance with applicable VAT laws and regulations.

7. Third-Party AI Services

VATTY may use third-party AI and cloud providers to deliver extraction, classification, validation, and automation functionality.

Uploaded documents and associated data may be processed securely using such providers in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection obligations.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, VATTY LTD disclaims liability for:

  • Errors or inaccuracies in AI-generated outputs
  • Business, tax, or accounting decisions made using the platform
  • Rejected VAT claims
  • Regulatory penalties or assessments
  • Losses arising from reliance on automated outputs

Users are responsible for independently reviewing and validating all outputs before use.
