We were selling only in the US and were dealing with Sales Tax with which were familiar. However, when we decided to expand to the EU and Australia we realized that it's a completely different tax system and had many troubles in understanding how it works. Lovat team and their platform helped us by explaining everything and solved our matters with tax reporting and now we are using it for both the USA and EU and Australia as the platform supports all of these regions and we handle our tax reporting in one place in one account of our company.
  • Variety of subscription plans which are flexible thanks to possibilities of purchasing various add-ons.
  • Tax audit reports which are available for download is a great feature that allows us to have a deeper look to our transactions from different sales channels of ours.
  • The support team in always helped us with difficulties or questions that we had on different stages while working with LOVAT
  • Include bigger amount of transactions to be supported by subscription plans
  • Make 24 hour support
  • In some countries VAT returns are not submitted immediately
The automatic calculation of tax returns is absolutely great as almost no manual work is needed but the information about imports is not picked up automatically by the system and has to be filled manually. Furthermore, the filing of VAT tax among other specific taxation requirements has been resolved by LOVAT.

  • Save us a lot of time and nerves by avoiding manual tax computations.

More so, LOVAT operates in many states, and countries, giving it a universal acceptance and credibility.

Currently with the help of LOVAT we were registered in EU country for VAT and going to submit VAT reports. Support team always helps us with all of requested questions in regards to the process of registration and using of this soft as well. By the way, I was thinking that's this will be much troublesome, but everything went without difficulties.
  • Unexpensive price!
  • Easiest way to register for VAT
  • Responsive customer support
  • Process may take your time because it's directly related to the tax authorities of requested country
  • It would be great to add 24/7 support, at this time support may only help you on the working days during the working week
  • That's all, I really liked everything else
Such a solution definitely suits any company / sole trader who wants successfully expand the business and use such an easy way to register and filling of VAT reports as well together with Lovat team

  • We planned to sell through Amazon and carefully prepared for this process, we were warned by the Lovat team about the terms and timing of registration and everything was as discussed at the initial stages of our cooperation - which is good news

We use LOVAT to fill sales tax returns for our sales in the U.S. As we sell remotely, we have tax obligations in four states and control thresholds to others. Also we ensure there are no tax compliance issues from the administration because the software helps us in following the stated rules in a country.
  • LOVAT live-chat is very helpful for me.
  • Tax reminders and payment memos help me to be on time with our reporting obligations.
  • Tax news helps me to be up to date with all changes in the field.
  • They have live chat support only during working hours. It would be great to have a 24/7 live chat.
  • LOVAT should be quite flexible for some editing.
  • LOVAT should include a CRM solution, which could be a better way.
It is better for online remote businesses. It is not fit for domestic sales tax filing for companies with US tax. Integrations are the best part of this platform so companies with online stores are the best fit. To avoid tax issues, LOVAT has given clear tax policies for businesses.
