My Store review for LOVAT Compliance

July 5, 2023

The team at LOVAT have been great from the start. From taking time to answer queries by Chat/email, to the application process, and keeping me updated with the progress of everything. If you wish to trade in the EU or in the UK, you need to be VAT compliant. And this is where LOVAT comes in, as they remove the all the paperwork and hassle from your hands, and streamline the application process to the various tax authorities (if you apply for this option). I wish I had known about them earlier. Then comes the reporting, once you start trading in these zones. And again this is where the LOVAT system kicks in : they connect to the various tax authorities, and you can easily submit your tax reports. Since the system connects to Shopify, then all your transactions are imported directly onto their platform, making the reporting process easier. Overall there is a little understanding required on your behalf to be compliant, and you need to adhere to the dates of the reporting, however once everything is set up it is a breeze. There is no reason why your business shouldn't be VAT compliant in the UK /EU anymore since services and tools like LOVAT exist. There are other VAT compliancy services out there, but they are not so straightforward or honest as LOVAT. Many others do not have automatic API (connection) to Shopify, and the registration fees are unbelievable for small businesses. In addition, there are lots of hidden fees with the others, or long time contracts and penalties. I am still new to the LOVAT system, only recently implemented it, but so far I am very happy and would certainly recommend you give them a go. The price/service/functionality is the best I have seen so far. Thank you, to the entire LOVAT team.
