VAT refunds, re-engineered.

SOVAT transforms European VAT recovery from a manual, error-prone chase into a secure, AI-powered flow. Built for global businesses that want outcomes, not paperwork.

From project to process.

Everything runs in the background. From the first sync to the final submission, SOVAT transforms VAT recovery into a hands-off, automated stream.

  1. Step 1 | Sync, don’t search

    Stop hunting for invoices. Whether you connect your financial stack directly or use our automated upload, SOVAT pulls only the relevant data with enterprise-grade security. No more messy CSVs or manual data entry.

  2. Step 2 | Detect, don’t guess

    Our engine doesn’t wait for your input. It proactively scans every transaction, flags VAT eligibility, applies local country rules, and uncovers missed opportunities.

  3. Step 3 | File, don’t chase

    No more emailing overseas accountants. SOVAT prepares compliant claims, submits them through official channels, and tracks payouts with a live status feed.
