Sovos has launched its Indirect Tax Suite, a comprehensive, integrated solution to modernize how companies meet global indirect tax obligations. Part of the Sovos Compliance Cloud, the Indirect Tax Suite empowers enterprises to manage all of their indirect tax obligations with governments, buyers, suppliers and consumers.
“Companies operating across multiple markets – or looking to enter new markets – face three distinct challenges in meeting their indirect tax obligations: variations in tax rates and rules; reporting cadences that can range from months later to real-time; and vastly different documenting and storage requirements for transaction data. Keeping up with all of this is a tremendous drain on resources, especially when using multiple, disconnected point systems for different obligations or in different countries,” said Kevin Akeroyd, CEO, Sovos.
“With the Sovos Indirect Tax Suite, companies can rely on the only comprehensive, global, always-on suite of integrated services in the industry to proactively manage compliance, benefiting from a single source of truth for tax data,” continued Akeroyd.
Nearly 70 percent of global businesses expect their organizations to focus more on tax governance in the next two years (source: EY). Navigating almost 19,000 tax authorities globally is further complicated as governments embrace continuous transactions controls (CTCs) and other technologies to monitor transactions in real time and make digital invoicing mandatory. Over 80 countries have already adopted e-invoicing requirements, with many more expected in the coming years.
Global companies that have invested heavily in digital transformation to optimize business processes for document exchange, procure-to-pay and transactions must adapt to these requirements, while still managing costs and risks. The Sovos Indirect Tax Suite maximizes a company’s technology investments, providing always-on compliance without the need to replace existing systems.
