SimplyVAT Review & Pricing (2026)

SimplyVAT

Accounting & Sales Tax

SimplyVAT is an international VAT compliance service for cross-border ecommerce sellers, operated by Borderfree Trade Ltd in the United Kingdom. It registers businesses for VAT in the United Kingdom, European Union member states and other markets, then prepares and files ongoing returns on their behalf. The service also covers Import One Stop Shop, One Stop Shop, EORI registration, Extended Producer Responsibility, customs clearance and Intrastat reporting.

For Amazon sellers, SimplyVAT addresses the registration obligations created by holding FBA stock in EU fulfilment centres, including Pan-European FBA, where storing inventory in a country generally triggers a local VAT registration that One Stop Shop does not remove. Work is delivered through Tribexa, the company's own client portal, which pulls sales data by API from Amazon, eBay, Shopify and WooCommerce and lets sellers approve returns before filing. Pricing is quoted per engagement rather than published.

Considerations
Pricing is not published, and the company directs buyers to a quote or a scheduled call.
Registration timelines are set by tax authorities and are described as taking three to ten weeks depending on the country.
Nil returns still need to be completed and filed, and remain chargeable in periods with no sales.
Deregistration carries a cost that varies by country, and liaising with tax authorities may attract an additional fee depending on the contract.
Automatic data integration is limited to Amazon, eBay, Shopify and WooCommerce; other channels require manually supplied data.
Fiscal representation, required in some member states for non-EU businesses, is arranged through third-party fiscal representatives.
Live chat is limited to UK business hours, which teams in other time zones should factor in.
There is no self-serve signup or free trial; every route goes through a scheduled call.
