Since this is an ionic compound, name the cation first and then the anion. 

Cation: tin (Sn) 
Anion: sulfate (SO4) 

It doesn't matter with ionic compounds how many cations/anions you have, but mention the charge of the tin, since it can take on +2 and +4 charges. 
In this ionic compound, it has a +4 charge. 

Tin (IV) sulfate
