ATLANTA – January 14, 2025 – Sovos, the always-on compliance company, has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Value-Added Tax Management 2024 Vendor Assessment (Doc # US52732824, December 2024). The report noted, “Sovos VAT compliance solutions and services include full coverage for VAT reporting, continuous transaction control compliance, e-invoicing clearance, post-audit einvoicing, and tax determination. In IDC’s evaluation, Sovos performed well in VAT functionality, especially VAT reporting, localized VAT support, recovery/reclaim, governance, and certifications.”
Businesses continue to grapple with the complexity and changing nature of VAT regulations which makes remaining compliant more difficult while absorbing more internal resources. Sovos helps to ease the burden of tax compliance management through a cloud-based, automated platform. The report noted, “when you need a solution that seamlessly integrates with — and is increasingly already embedded in — accounting or transaction management software, you should consider Sovos.”
“Sovos’ depth and breadth of VAT solutions and services, as well as our global reach, are helping companies to navigate continuous change and uncertainty when it comes to tax compliance,” said Alice Katwan, president of revenue, Sovos. “We believe that being named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape is further testament to the impact that we are having on our customers and their ability to compete in the global business community.”
