Avalara VAT Reporting · Seattle, Washington, United States · founded 2004
What it is
Avalara VAT Reporting is software for teams handling VAT obligations across multiple jurisdictions. It centralizes reporting work, applies more than 150 automated checks for issues, duplicates and inconsistencies, and provides AI-guided assistance through its Avi in-product assistant. The system supports periodic VAT returns, EC Sales Lists, EU Purchase Lists, Intrastat declarations, OSS and IOSS returns, SAF-T and country-specific listings. Avalara supports the in-house product in 48 countries across the Americas, EMEA and APAC. Data can come from SAP, Oracle, NetSuite and Amazon extractors, or through API, CSV, XML and a data-mapping wizard. Reconciliation reports compare VAT returns with the general ledger, while each return includes an audit trail of inputs, checks, adjustments, approvals and the submitted file. Standard workflows, submission history, deadline tracking and dashboards show reporting status and risks. UK users get HMRC-recognised Making Tax Digital support, including Phase II links and direct filing.
