Medicover Logo - Customer Case Study

Client: Medicover
Interviewee: Constantinos Poupa, Tax Specialist
Industry: Healthcare and Diagnostics
Jurisdictions: Operates through multiple entities across Europe and beyond

Medicover is a leading international healthcare and diagnostic services provider, operating across a wide network of subsidiaries. With each entity subject to local compliance requirements, the group faces complex and time-sensitive tax reporting obligations. To support this, Medicover implemented Alphatax Provisioning across its group entities to standardise and accelerate its tax pack process. The company is also preparing to expand its use of Alphatax tools by adopting the Alphatax Pillar Two solution to meet upcoming global minimum tax requirements.

Both Alphatax Provisioning and Alphatax Pillar Two integrate seamlessly as part of Alphatax’s global tax compliance platform, which will allows Medicover to establish a single source of truth for their tax compliance data and strengthen their tax control framework.

 

Tax team & role

Alphatax Provisioning is actively used by the tax reporting professionals in every Medicover group entity. Each local team is responsible for completing tax packs directly in the tool. This decentralised access model enables timely, consistent input from all business units, with oversight and consolidation handled centrally by the corporate tax team.


Customer priorities

Accuracy, speed, and transparency are key for Medicover’s internal stakeholders. With recurring tax reporting deadlines, the group prioritises tools that facilitate rapid, consistent, and auditable compliance. Effective communication and reduced manual coordination are especially valuable in a distributed organisation.

 

Alphatax products used

  • Alphatax Provisioning – Currently used for tax reporting and ETR (Effective Tax Rate) reconciliations across the group. The solution automates time-consuming tax accounting tasks like data gathering and monitoring, allowing the team to focus on tax position analysis. Suitable for organisations of all sizes, it plays a key role in Medicover’s direct tax control framework.
  • Alphatax Pillar Two – Planned for future use as OECD Pillar Two compliance becomes relevant for Medicover. This cloud-based SaaS solution calculates top-up tax in line with OECD model rules, automates XML-based GIR and QDMTT filings, and enhances efficiency through built-in references and automation.

 

Previous process & challenges

Prior to adopting Alphatax Provisioning, Medicover’s tax reporting involved time-consuming email exchanges and manual updates to Excel-based tax packs. Coordinating updates, comments, and corrections across multiple entities often led to delays and inefficiencies, especially when preparing for ETR reconciliations.

“It’s a much more pleasant experience. You no longer have to enter zeroes manually, and if you forget to save, your data isn’t lost because it’s automatically saved.”

 

Onboarding & support

The transition to the new version of Alphatax Provisioning was described as “really smooth and fast.” The intuitive design enabled each group entity to onboard with minimal friction. Support from the Alphatax’s team has been consistently responsive and collaborative.

“Whenever we encounter an issue, it is resolved quickly. We can also make suggestions to improve the tool, and if it aligns with the roadmap, they’re implemented.”

 

Key improvements & outcomes

Since adopting Alphatax Provisioning, Medicover has seen meaningful improvements in how its tax team collaborates and completes key reporting tasks. By streamlining workflows and reducing manual coordination, the solution has brought measurable efficiency to a traditionally time-consuming process.

  • Speed: Tax pack submissions are completed significantly faster, enabling earlier ETR reconciliation.
  • Efficiency: Internal communications have improved through Alphatax Provisioning’s in-app comment features, reducing email back-and-forth.
  • Transparency: Comments can be added directly on specific lines of the tax pack, improving clarity and reducing follow-up queries.
  • Scalability: The tool is used across the entire group without difficulty, supporting future growth and regulatory changes.

“The speed of completion and reduced need for emails are the biggest benefits. Alphatax Provisioning makes it easier to stay aligned across the group.”

These improvements have not only accelerated tax reporting cycles but also enhanced visibility and consistency across the organisation. With Alphatax Provisioning in place, Medicover is well-positioned to manage current obligations and confidently scale its compliance operations as new regulations emerge.

 

What’s next

With a solid foundation in place through its successful use of Alphatax Provisioning, Medicover is now looking ahead to further strengthen its tax compliance strategy. As global tax regulations evolve, the company is proactively preparing for upcoming challenges and identifying opportunities to deepen its partnership with the Alphatax team.

Medicover plans to:

  • Begin using the Alphatax Pillar Two tool to manage upcoming global minimum tax compliance requirements.
  • Continue providing feedback to enhance Alphatax Provisioning in alignment with Medicover’s evolving needs.
  • Maintain close collaboration with the Alphatax team to adapt the tools for future reporting cycles.

These forward-looking initiatives reflect Medicover’s commitment to staying ahead of regulatory demands while continuously improving its internal processes. By expanding its use of Alphatax solutions and fostering ongoing collaboration, the company is setting itself up for long-term success in a rapidly changing tax landscape.

 

Why they recommend Alphatax Provisioning?

“I would recommend the product to other tax professionals. It speeds up the process, supports clear communication, and the support team is always there to help.”
