hellotax Review & Pricing (2026)

hellotax is an EU VAT compliance service for online sellers, operated by hellotax Global S.L. and founded in 2016 by former Amazon FBA sellers. It combines its own VAT software with in-house accountants who prepare and file returns in each country. The software ingests marketplace transaction data, monitors distance selling thresholds and stock movement, tracks deadlines, and runs a Tax Letter Inbox that scans and translates correspondence from European tax authorities into English.

For Amazon sellers, the trigger for using hellotax is usually FBA stock being stored in an additional EU country, which creates a local VAT registration obligation. Sellers connect an Amazon Seller account so transactions flow into the reports and returns automatically, and can add eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce, Cdiscount, Magento or a CSV upload. Coverage is limited to twelve European countries, and VAT plans are priced per country rather than per account.
