SimpleVAT

What SimpleVAT is

SimpleVAT automates EU VAT compliance for ecommerce businesses and prepares VAT reporting. It can calculate VAT, support VAT registration and return filing, create sequentially numbered invoices, and email electronic receipts to customers. For non-euro sales, it uses the exchange rate for the day of the sale. Its VIES integration verifies VAT numbers in real time and supports EU member state, UK, and Northern Ireland numbers. Reports cover OSS, IOSS, foreign VAT registrations, and domestic filings in Bulgaria. Marketplace connections include Amazon, eBay, Shopify, Magento, Cdiscount, Allegro, Etsy, and ManoMano. Accounting exports are available for QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage; a REST API supports custom connections, including warehouse management systems. Multiple users can work with an accountant on invoice management and data retrieval. SimpleVAT runs on web and through an API. There is no free plan. SimpleVAT Lite costs €25 a month for up to 60 orders. SimpleVAT Pro costs €60 a month for fair usage up to 5000 orders, then 5.00 EUR for each subsequent group of 1000 orders started.
