Comprehensive software suite provides
customizable, always-on solutions for tax determination,
e-invoicing and filing
Sovos, the always-on compliance company, introduces its Indirect
Tax Suite, a comprehensive, integrated solution to modernize how
companies meet global indirect tax obligations. Part of the Sovos
Compliance Cloud, the Indirect Tax Suite empowers enterprises to
manage all of their indirect tax obligations with governments,
buyers, suppliers and consumers.
“Companies operating across multiple markets – or looking to
enter new markets – face three distinct challenges in meeting their
indirect tax obligations: variations in tax rates and rules;
reporting cadences that can range from months later to real-time;
and vastly different documenting and storage requirements for
transaction data. Keeping up with all of this is a tremendous drain
on resources, especially when using multiple, disconnected point
systems for different obligations or in different countries,” said
Kevin Akeroyd, CEO, Sovos.
“With the Sovos Indirect Tax Suite, companies can rely on the
only comprehensive, global, always-on suite of integrated services
in the industry to proactively manage compliance, benefiting from a
single source of truth for tax data,” continued Akeroyd.
Nearly 70 percent of global businesses expect their
organizations to focus more on tax governance in the next two years
(source: EY). Navigating almost 19,000 tax authorities globally is
further complicated as governments embrace continuous transactions
controls (CTCs) and other technologies to monitor transactions in
real time and make digital invoicing mandatory. Over 80 countries
have already adopted e-invoicing requirements, with many more
expected in the coming years.
Global companies that have invested heavily in digital
transformation to optimize business processes for document
exchange, procure-to-pay and transactions must adapt to these
requirements, while still managing costs and risks. The Sovos
Indirect Tax Suite maximizes a company’s technology investments,
providing always-on compliance without the need to replace existing
systems.
The Sovos Indirect Tax Suite features:
- Seamless Connectivity: Through Sovos Embedded
Integrations and the Sovos Connector Marketplace, businesses can
embed indirect tax compliance into existing workflows within more
than 70 of the most widely used enterprise resource planning (ERP)
and transaction management systems and integrate into any other
applications you choose for your business. The Sovos Indirect Tax
Suite offers in-built, seamless connectivity to government tax
authorities across the globe.
- Global Determination: Sovos’ Global Tax Determination
engine provides automated, accurate tax rates and rule updates for
Sales and Use Tax (SUT), Value Added Tax (VAT) and Goods and
Services Tax (GST) in 195 countries. We also help you understand
and validate key exemptions and reduce audit risk.
- E-Invoicing Compliance for Continuous Transactions
Controls: Add transaction compliance to accounts receivable and
accounts payable processes with industry-leading B2B e-invoicing
and B2C e-receipt capabilities. Whether for emerging standards such
as PEPPOL. or France’s PDP, enterprises can connect once to the
Sovos Compliance Network and deploy worldwide, avoiding massive
cost and time commitments with other compliance vendors that
require country-specific deployments.
- Filing, Reporting, & Insights: Sales Tax Filing and
VAT Filing provide global reporting coverage. Customizable
reporting to automate, centralize, and standardize processes for
all periodic reporting and SAF-T obligations, enriched with
detailed transaction insights via dashboards, trend analysis and
reports. Companies benefit from a single source of data for use in
business intelligence and other built-in analytical tools to
improve insights.
Sovos’ Compliance Cloud and Indirect Tax Suite are bolstered by
a global team of more than 100 regulatory counsels and tax experts
who monitor and report on more than 200 categories of regulatory
change, codify those changes into the platform, and coordinate with
