For software companies selling internationally, VAT and GST compliance has always been a puzzle with too many pieces. On top of growth initiatives, you’re juggling spreadsheets to monitor thresholds, working with multiple vendors for different jurisdictions, and paying thousands in registration and filing fees.Â
We built Anrok to simplify global sales tax compliance for modern software companies. Here’s a breakdown of why the fastest-growing companies trust us to handle VAT and GST as they enter new markets.Â
The fragmented state of international tax compliance
If you're selling SaaS or digital products across borders, you know the drill:Â
- VAT rules vary wildly across 170+ countries
- Validating customer tax IDs is manual and error-prone
- Returns require reconciling reports, managing currency conversions, and remitting to the correct authorities
All of this while keeping up with constantly changing regulations.
And the cost of getting it wrong? Non-compliant software businesses face back taxes, penalties, and interest averaging 5% of revenue.Â
Most companies have historically tackled this by either outsourcing to accounting firms at steep costs, piecing together multiple vendors for monitoring, calculation, and filing, or putting it off and hoping for the best.Â
None of these options deliver the seamless, automated experience that modern finance teams need.
One platform for US sales tax and global VAT/GST
Get coverage in over 100 countries. Anrok handles VAT and GST compliance end-to-end across the jurisdictions that matter most to software companies: the EU (27 countries), UK, and Canada (all provinces and territories). That represents roughly 75% of our customers' international sales, all managed from a single platform.
Here's what that means for your team:
Registration made simple
Get registered in core VAT jurisdictions directly through Anrok's platform. No separate vendors, no extra fees. Just answer a few questions in-app and we handle the rest.
Real-time calculation and collection
Anrok automatically calculates the correct VAT or GST for each transaction and syncs with your billing system in real time. For B2B transactions, we validate customer VAT IDs to apply the reverse charge mechanism where applicable.
Automated filing and remittance
Currency-ready returns are prepared for you. We file directly with tax authorities and handle remittance, so your obligations are met on time, every time.
One audit trail for all global sales
Monitor exposure, track thresholds, and access audit-ready records for both US sales tax and international VAT/GST, all in one place.
What you can expect: Predictable pricing & expert support
Beyond the unified platform experience, we've fundamentally changed the economics:
- No per-registration fees. Unlike traditional VAT partners that charge $1,000+ per jurisdiction, Anrok includes registration in your subscription.
- No per-filing fees. Automated returns and remittance are built in.
- One vendor relationship. No more coordinating between your sales tax tool and separate VAT advisors.
And because we're built specifically for software companies, we understand the nuances of modern billing models—from recurring subscriptions to usage-based pricing to credit memos and refunds.
Customers trust Anrok to handle their sales tax complianceÂ
Carl Peterson, co-founder at Thunder Compute, chose Anrok specifically for VAT compliance: "We hit international thresholds before U.S. ones, so we needed a reliable source of truth to manage compliance for our global clients. Anrok made registration seamless, provided data to decide which geographies to prioritize, and gave me confidence we're compliant."
Zach Shakked from Chargeback adds: "Anrok helped us through the complicated VAT registration process in the EU, Canada, and the UK, making it significantly easier versus using expensive third-party firms. I found they made the process as easy as it could've been."
