The story

1stopVAT is a Lithuania-based VAT compliance services firm (not an embedded finance company) founded in 2020. It provides VAT registration, filing, consulting, EPR, CBAM and VDA services across 100+ jurisdictions to e-commerce sellers, marketplace vendors and SaaS companies. It is a professional services business augmented by software integrations (Amazon Services API, KYC platform, accounting tools) rather than a financial infrastructure provider.
