Product Overview

AvaTax Calc is a transaction-based service model with seamless integration into business applications that gives access to jurisdiction assignments and real-time sales tax calculations, offering easy integration into financial or e-commerce applications, providing full enablement with nexus, taxability rules, reporting functions, and filing profiles unique to businesses.

AvaTax Calc Pro version is designed for businesses that have complex tax rules in many jurisdictions. Pro provides customers with access to over 100,000 taxability rules as well as 2,400 predefined product and service categories that can easily be mapped to inventory items. AvaTax Calc Basic version is for businesses that that sell a limited number of products or services that have simple tax rules and are taxed the same in all locations.

AvaTax Certs Web-hosted software gives Tax, Finance, Sales, Credit, Customer Service, and any other department the power to control the entire exemption certificate lifecycle. AvaTax Cert's built-in intelligence automates the paperless collection and management of certificates, ensures the quality and validity of certificates, and manages exempt customer and auditor relationships so your clients never need to worry again about audit exposure from non-taxed transactions.

AvaTax Certs is already built into AvaTax Calc and can be integrated with popular ERPs using Avalara's pre-built ERP connectors, or ERP connectors you build using the AvaTax SDK. AvaTax Certs can be operated as a "stand-alone" software application, without integration into AvaTax Calc or ERP software.

AvaTax Returns is a Web-based tax return service that automates the cumbersome process of filing sales tax returns and frees accounting resources for more productive, revenue-generating activities. AvaTax Returns integrates into the AvaTax Calc sales tax calculation module to provide completely automated, end-to-end sales tax compliance. Pulling sales and use tax data directly from the Avalara sales tax engine, AvaTax Returns allows tax departments to view, modify, and approve returns for submission to any tax jurisdiction in North America.

AvaTax Returns not only takes care of the forms you need for each jurisdiction in which you have nexus, but also remits the liability on your behalf. Whether the taxing authority accepts traditional or electronic filing, Avalara ensures that returns and remittances will be received by the states at the correct time and in the correct format.
