    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
    Lappa
    • 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

    The functionality is very powerful, and everything works as promised. But the interface needs improvement in places - sometimes you have to search for something longer than you would like.

    Lovat is a product which is favorable in terms of cost, unlike the many tax software which are expensive and not affordable.Also, Lovat has some flexibility, where different procedures based on the companies demands can be personalized to suit its needs. Lastly, Lovat works in hand with the many programs that are in the accounting area.

    It doesn't. Hands down Bill.com is a better platform that over time has only gotten better.

    • 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.
