Avalara

One cloud-based solution to calculate tax rates, prepare returns, and manage documents

For any industry or business size, Avalara can help automate sales and use tax compliance with greater accuracy, easy implementation, and faster ROI.

Improve your tax compliance process

1. Maintain control.  Use automation to handle tax compliance in-house, without adding headcount or over-burdening your finance or IT teams.
2. Protect cash flow.  Reduce the risk of wasting money by overpaying — or underpaying, opening your business to fines or fees.
3. Simplify audits.  Give auditors access to the specific documentation they need without having access to your whole system.
4. Build your solution.  Choose products a la carte or implement the entire sales and use tax suite to meet your needs.

Avalara’s Exemption Certificate Management solution streamlines the collection, validation, and storage of exemption certificates, reducing compliance risks and administrative burdens. By automating these processes, businesses can avoid costly errors and audits while ensuring proper tax treatment for exempt sales. The solution enhances efficiency, saves time, and guarantees up-to-date, secure records, allowing businesses to focus on growth while staying compliant.

1. Reduce Compliance Risks: Minimize the risk of audits and penalties with real-time certificate validation.
2. Save Time and Resources: Automate certificate collection, storage, and management to eliminate manual tasks.
3. Ensure Accurate Tax Treatment: Properly handle exempt sales, reducing the risk of overpaying or undercharging tax.
4. Centralized, Secure Storage: Easily access and manage certificates from a secure, centralized location.

Use automation to help manage consumer use tax across your business

Self-assess your consumer use tax liability without relying on complicated spreadsheets or expensive custom solutions.

1. Catch vendor errors early.  Consumer use tax issues often occur when vendors don’t collect sales tax on taxable items or charge the wrong tax rate. Manually verifying every incoming invoice can be impossible, but Avalara automatically checks each one according to jurisdiction rates and rules.

2. Stay focused on the right tasks.  Unburden your finance team and reduce human error with automation. Avalara uses built-in tax rates and user-defined rules to help determine consumer use tax across multiple locations and in complex transactions.

3. Improve cash flow. Avalara helps identify overbilled tax on purchases to keep you from overpaying. It also makes it easier to assess and pay consumer use tax owed, so you can avoid the fines and fees for underpaying.

4. Create a central source of data.  Use a single database of consumer use tax information to maintain a clean audit trail of your self-assessment decisions.

Scale international growth with tailored cross-border solutions for businesses of all sizes.

1. Reduce costs with accurate HS code classifications and customs duty calculations.
2. Optimize customer experience by avoiding tax over- or under-charges from incorrect classification.
3. Get real-time customs duties at checkout to reduce cart abandonment and refused packages.
