What Sovos VAT Compliance is
Sovos VAT Compliance brings together tools for local VAT obligations, from e-invoicing mandates to periodic returns. VAT Filing can generate return forms from transactions held in a Sovos account. Users can export the forms for manual filing or submit them directly to tax authorities. Workflow features include team tools, alerts, validation checks, automated data enhancement rules, and audit history. For online sellers and marketplaces, the e-commerce service covers Union and non-Union OSS, IOSS for low-value imports, intermediary services for non-EU sellers, simplified-scheme VAT registration, and return-filing management with a consolidated dashboard. VAT Filing and Reporting integrates with ERP systems such as SAP, and connectors are available for common e-commerce and ERP systems. An External Partner API lets customer systems retrieve filing periods, submit transaction data files, and track processing. Sovos says its software supports VAT and GST compliance across 64+ jurisdictions and all 50 US states. The service is paid, with pricing on request; e-commerce pricing is customized to the company and its needs. Platforms listed are web and API.
