Welcome and Getting Started

Welcome to TaxLayer, your all-in-one platform for automating myDATA compliance and managing financial documents with the help of AI-powered validation.


🧾 What is TaxLayer?

​

TaxLayer is a compliance and finance automation platform for myData. It streamlines e-invoicing, document processing, and myDATA submissions by combining:

​

  • ​AI-powered extraction (Greek & English)
  • ​Automated compliance validation (myDATA-aware)
  • ​Customisable workflows (from quick checks to full automation)

​

Outcome: fewer rejections, faster close, clearer audit trails.

​

πŸ‘₯ Who is it for?

​

  • ​Accounting firms β€” manage multiple clients, reduce manual entry, prevent myDATA rejections.
  • ​Businesses (in-house finance) β€” automate invoice checks & submissions without changing your ERP overnight.
  • ​Compliance teams β€” monitor validation health, submissions, and evidence from a single place.
Pain point solved: No more guessing β€œwhy did myData reject this?” β€” TaxLayer explains issues in plain language and suggests fixes.

What happens if a document has errors?

You’ll see plain-language reasons and safe fix suggestions (single or bulk). Re-validate in one click.

Can I import historical documents or client lists?

Yes. Use bulk upload for PDFs/CSVs/XLSX and CSV import for clients.

Will this replace my accounting system?

No. TaxLayer focuses on extraction, validation, and myDATA. You can sync or export to your ledger/ERP.

Is my data used to train other customers’ AI?

No. Your account runs a private AI model; client documents are not used to train global models.
