Avalara VAT Reporting

What Avalara VAT Reporting is

Avalara VAT Reporting helps teams manage VAT obligations across jurisdictions through centralised visibility, validation checks and AI-guided assistance. The in-house product is supported in 48 countries across the Americas, EMEA and APAC, and is aimed at businesses that want their own teams to handle VAT reporting with software automating and simplifying the work.

It supports periodic VAT returns, EC Sales Lists, EU Purchase Lists, Intrastat declarations, OSS and IOSS returns, SAF-T and country-specific local listings. More than 150 automated checks look for issues, duplicates and inconsistencies before submission. VAT-to-general-ledger reconciliation reports help match returns with ledger records. Each generated return includes an audit trail covering its inputs, validation logic, manual adjustments, approvals and submitted file.

Teams can bring data in through SAP, Oracle, NetSuite and Amazon extractors, or by API, CSV, XML and a data-mapping wizard. The product provides standard workflows, submission history, deadline tracking and dashboard insights into reporting status and risks. Avi, its in-product AI assistant, surfaces guidance while users prepare and review returns. In the UK, Avalara says the software is HMRC-recognised for Making Tax Digital and supports MTD Phase II digital links and direct UK MTD filing. Pricing is available on request and licensing depends on country footprint and entity count.
