SimpleVAT review
A low-cost EU VAT tool with broad integrations and a 60-transaction limit.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SimpleVAT is a web and API platform for e-commerce businesses and accountants managing EU VAT compliance. It collects sales data from marketplaces and websites, calculates VAT based on destination country and order value, generates automated invoices and electronic receipts, verifies VAT numbers through VIES, and prepares VAT, OSS, and IOSS reporting data. It also offers VAT registration and filing services, making it suited to small sellers that need filing support alongside calculation and reporting.
Pricing is straightforward but the published plans show limited differentiation. SimpleVAT Lite costs €25 per month, while SimpleVAT Pro costs €60 per month. Both plans list VAT/OSS return data for accountants, unlimited marketplace integrations, automated invoicing, VAT/OSS reports, and spreadsheet exports. The platform also supports currency conversion using current or official rates, accounting software exports, and e-invoicing at a basic level. For a small operation, the lower-priced plan covers a broad compliance workflow without requiring a free tier.
Its ecosystem is a strong fit for sellers operating across common commerce channels. Integrations include Amazon, eBay, Shopify, Magento, Cdiscount, Allegro, Etsy, ManoMano, WooCommerce, QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage, while the REST API supports custom integrations. The main constraint is the verified 60-transaction limit, which reduces its fit for larger or faster-growing sellers. Choose SimpleVAT if your store needs EU VAT calculation, registration, reporting, and filing support at a modest monthly price; consider an alternative when transaction volume is likely to exceed that limit or when you need clearer differences between paid tiers.
