FileVAT is a cloud-based VAT compliance portal from eClear AG for businesses and tax advisory firms. It supports periodic and annual VAT return preparation and filing, EC Sales Lists, and VAT ledgers across 30 jurisdictions. The product is aimed at small, mid-market, and enterprise teams that manage recurring VAT obligations, particularly European businesses coordinating filings across multiple countries. Its web interface supports transaction-data uploads, draft preparation, review, and electronic submission where tax-authority interfaces are available.

The strongest part of FileVAT is its filing workflow. Real-time validation and plausibility checks help users review drafts before submission, while deadline alerts keep recurring obligations visible. Multi-user roles and approval workflows suit teams where tax returns require review before filing. Correction returns, test transmissions, submission protocols, archiving, and secure data transmission extend the product beyond basic form preparation. GDPR compliance and email and ticket support add practical coverage for organizations handling regulated tax information.

FileVAT is a focused choice rather than a broad finance or integration platform. Its workflow centers on uploaded transaction data, so teams that need integrations or API access should consider an alternative. Pricing is handled through a contact-sales process, which may suit organizations evaluating multi-jurisdiction requirements but gives buyers no simple self-serve entry point. Businesses that need recurring VAT returns, EC Sales Lists, ledger management, and structured approvals across Europe should shortlist FileVAT; teams prioritizing public plan prices, integrations, or API-led automation should look elsewhere.
