Compliance Network

Country mandates and prerequisites

The importance of understanding regional tax legislation, prerequisites for using Sovos services, and additional country-specific requirements.

When designing a solution for a customer, you must understand the tax legislation for each region or country. The laws of each country determine what will happen in that country and what requirements and functionalities will be available. Each country publishes a law with a mandate that determines its specific rules.

Before customers can use Compliance Network, they must have a legal entity with a valid tax identification number (tax ID) in the countries where they plan to use Sovos Compliance Network. In addition, some countries require additional information such as necessary credentials, certificates, signatures, tokens, keys, or secrets. Countries might also require that customers create specific profiles that are part of e-invoicing structures.

Tip:

An important planning consideration is what country to implement first for a customer who needs to support multiple countries. In conversation with the customer, you might decide to implement an easy country first but must set expectations appropriately. Alternatively, the customer might have a specific business reason to implement a more complicated country first.
