Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use LOVAT to automatically file VAT tax returns. We have an online store, we sell to different countries, so without automation it would be a lot of paperwork. LOVAT takes care of the calculations, reminders, and the filing itself — it saves a lot of time.

Pros

  • The biggest plus is that everything is automated. We connected the store, everything works just fine: VAT was calculated, declarations were filed, nothing was forgotten.
  • Support is also standard - if something is unclear, they answer quickly and to the point.

Cons

  • Navigation in the dashboard is not very good. Sometimes it is a bit difficult to find the desired function the first time. For example, we did not immediately understand where to add new countries or reports. It would be cool to have tips in the interface

Return on Investment

  • The positive impact is 100%. We saved at least a few hours each month, plus we avoided penalties for late or incorrect submissions. This directly affects ROI, because time = money, especially when the team is small.
  • And what’s more — less stress. This is also a value, albeit an intangible one

I register and report VAT and sales tax. LOVAT truly simplified the submission of documents. As an entrepreneur, I prefer to spend time working rather than deal with documentation and business laws. Works simply and reliably.

Pros

  • I have workers from different countries and nations, and they say that the Chinese version of the website could be better

We

contacted LOVAT for help with VAT registration. We are also currently using a

trial subscription to the LOVAT software.

It is still too early for me to assess the advantages and disadvantages of

the software. However, I would like to acknowledge the LOVAT support team,

which has provided us with professional assistance in understanding the

intricacies of tax legislation in different countries and our obligations to

the tax authorities. I am very happy with the level of service that the LOVAT team has provided us.

Pros

  • they are well versed in taxes
  • professional assistance from the support team
  • VAT registration and communication with tax authorities

Cons

  • need to add integration with Squarespace
  • It would be nice to be able to add colleagues to your personal account for team work

Return on Investment

  • Reduction in penalties to $1,000 due to improved compliance.
