SimplyVAT

It all started when our founder and CEO, Claire Taylor, decided it was time things were done differently.

With over 20 years of experience in the international VAT sector, Claire realised that ecommerce sellers had very few places to go to find out about international VAT when selling online, so made it her mission to get accessible, easy-to-understand information and solutions to the rising numbers of international ecommerce sellers.

The SimplyVAT.com vision was formed and Claire launched our first website in January 2014. Within two years, she managed to win the Entrepreneur of the Moment award through NatWest’s Business Accelerator programme and in the process, secured investment to develop a market-leading VAT compliance software platform, S-VAT. In 2018, SimplyVAT.com was short-listed in the British Small Business awards.

Claire’s passion around educating in the export arena also led to the development of industry standard educational learning materials, ‘International VAT Compliance Bite Sized Learning’ for exporters, in collaboration with The Institute of Export & International Trade.
