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

I would not recommend this software/solution. For the price they quote, I would look into other solutions as their software never fully supported our business and the filings were incorrect for years without resolution from customer serv. Their Resale Cert platform also lacked credibility- I suggest, look into other solutions to better support your filings.

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.

We picked Taxify, by Sovos based on original contract price- would not recommend this as well as (with all the issues we have been experiencing) would rather spend the money and time on Avalara. When we asked for a 1 yr contract to limp along for the year, the price was quoted for about $70K which was triple our original agreement.

Return on Investment
Lappa
  • 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.

  • manual work to get accurate info- increase in manpower & time for accurate submissions
  • increase in time w. rep to fix or address issues without resolution
