Global Tax Compliance Microservices

Global Tax Compliance Microservices

A high-impact, enterprise-scale replacement for third-party VAT management software


Project Overview

Architected a dual-microservice Python ecosystem designed to automate the retrieval and processing of international VAT data, successfully replacing a £250k enterprise vendor solution within a month. Key Features: • Automated Data Generation: Developed a specialized Python service that interfaces with global tax data sources to generate real-time VAT API JSON payloads. • Consumption & Analytics Engine: Engineered a secondary microservice that consumes complex JSON data to power an automated, real-time institutional dashboard. • Strategic Cost-Optimization: Delivered a robust in-house alternative to a high-cost third-party platform, resulting in significant capital savings and removing external vendor dependency. • Scalable Microservices Architecture: Leveraged decoupled services to ensure high scalability, independent maintenance, and seamless data flow across the University’s infrastructure. • Rapid Agile Deployment: Executed the full design, development, and integration phase within two weeks to meet urgent global compliance deadlines. This project demonstrates an elite ability to translate high-cost business requirements into lean, high-performance technical solutions. By bypassing expensive enterprise dependencies, this architecture provides Oxford with a proprietary, secure, and highly agile method for managing global tax compliance at scale.
