Automotive parts and tire businesses operate in a complex environment: multi-country sales, B2B and B2C transactions, spare parts marketplaces, dealer networks, and increasingly strict digital tax and invoicing requirements.
Lappa software helps automotive companies stay compliant, automate reporting, and scale internationally without adding operational overhead.

Below are practical examples of how L’EPR, L’Invoice, and L’Tax can be used in real automotive scenarios.

L’EPR – Extended Producer Responsibility compliance for Auto Parts & Tires

Use case example : Tire manufacturer selling across the EU

An automotive tire manufacturer sells replacement tires online and through distributors in France, Germany, and Italy. Under EU EPR rules, the company is responsible for waste management obligations related to:

• Tires
• Packaging (cardboard, plastic wrap, pallets)
• In some countries, batteries and electronic components (e.g. TPMS sensors)

How L’EPR helps Automotive Parts & Tires Industry :

• Registers the company with national EPR schemes in each country
• Tracks quantities of tires and packaging placed on the market
• Calculates EPR fees per country and category
• Submits periodic EPR reports automatically
• Single platform for all EPR obligations

Result:
The manufacturer avoids fines and manual reporting while ensuring full compliance with EU environmental regulations in every sales country. The easiest way to do this – use L’EPR 

L’Tax – Sales Tax & VAT Automation for automotive E-commerce

Use case example : Online auto parts store selling internationally

An online retailer sells automotive spare parts and tires via its own webshop to customers in the EU, UK, and the United States. Tax rules vary depending on:

• Customer location
• B2B vs B2C sales
• Distance selling thresholds
• State and local sales tax rules in the US

How L’Tax helps:

• Automatically determines correct VAT or sales tax rates
• Applies OSS/IOSS rules for EU cross-border sales
• Handles US state and local sales tax calculations
• Tracks tax liabilities per country or state
• Generates tax reports ready for filing

Result:
L’Tax has Broader global coverage and big expiriencee. The retailer charges the correct tax on every order, reduces compliance risk, and scales sales globally without rebuilding tax logic for each new market.

L’Authorize – for GSPR compliance for Automotive Parts & Tires

Use case example : Responding to requests from EU market surveillance authorities

A non-EU seller manufactures and sells automotive spare parts and tires through its own webshop and EU-based distributors.
To legally sell these products in the European Union, the seller must comply with

• EU General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPR)
• and appoint an EU Authorized Representative.

How L’Authorize Helps

• Provides GSPR compliance support tailored to automotive parts and tires

• Reviews and maintains technical and compliance documentation

• Acts as the official EU Authorized Representative on behalf of the seller

• Communicates directly with EU authorities and market surveillance bodies

• Supports inspections, compliance inquiries, and corrective actions

Result

With L’Authorize, the seller:

• Completes Authorized Representative registration within 24 hours

• Gains clear and transparent pricing with no hidden fees

• Achieves faster and safer entry into the EU market

• Reduces regulatory and enforcement risks

• Focuses on sales and growth while Lovat manages compliance

L’Authorize enables seamless EU market access for automotive parts and tire sellers.

L’Invoice – E-Invoicing for Automotive B2B & dealer networks

Use case example  : Auto parts wholesaler invoicing dealers in Italy

A wholesaler supplies brake systems, filters, and suspension components to hundreds of automotive dealers across Italy. Italian law requires mandatory B2B e-invoicing via the Sistema di Interscambio (SDI).

How L’Invoice helps Automotive Parts & Tires Industry :
