CCH SureTax
It is really well suited for accountants that simply prepare the returns and need accurate data. This makes the review process much quicker. If you do not have WorkStream connected it is tough to track the progress of a project. You have to check the reports daily to see if you have any work to do

LOVAT
You need a way to calculate VAT on your remote sales and store tax documents electronically. As part of your evaluation, I would include LOVAT as an option. With LOVAT, we can also avoid asking clients to provide additional information at check out, which keeps our conversion rate higher. It's so easy to upload tax data, calculate VAT, and submit VAT forms

Cons
CCH SureTax
- The reporting system is really limited and hard to define useful reporting.
- A really clunky system and not intuitive to use.
- The error messages are really vague and you have to "guess" occasionally why the error is there.

LOVAT
- Some processes take extra time
- It will take some time and preferably a demo call with the support team to learn how to use the software yourself
- Unfortunately, consultation on really difficult questions can be obtained only for an additional fee

- Good functionality and regular update of the services.
- This software is a good value for money especially taking into account a not very high price.
- The support team is professional but available only at weekdays.
- For the moment the support language is only English that may cause some inconvenience.
