Cross-Border Duties & Tax

Goods & Services Tax (GST)

Why Should You Automate Tax Compliance?

It would take me three days to research
and categorize just 100 items. Can you imagine how long it would take me to do more than 20,000?

Decrease the high cost & drain on your business

Employee time & Expertise are Expensive

Without automation, tax professionals are likely buried in endless tasks that could be offloaded. Every hour spent on tax management is an hour lost on other (more important) parts of business.

Spreadsheets can lead to guesswork

Reduce tax risk

Government requirements are increasingly complex and vast, as rates, product taxability rules, and tax laws are constantly in flux. Without automation, businesses are taking on unnecessary risk.

With up-to-date rates and rules maintained by a cloud-based tax engine, automated tax software can increase the accuracy of tax compliance. 

We answer with such confidence and authority now; the auditors have moved on to someone else.

With automation, rate calculations are more accurate, use tax is assessed, returns are filed on time, exemption certificates are up to date and easily accessible, and users are registered in all the right locations.

We just publicly announced another pending acquisition, and the ability to take in a new revenue stream, port it into Zuora, and immediately be compliant — that scalability is really nice

Get more out of your existing technology and systems

Add Tax Compliance To Business Applications

Businesses are likely already automating critical parts of their operations with ERPs, ecommerce platforms, and other business applications. Get more out of investments by connecting tax software into the systems that power other parts of business.

Automated tax solutions like Avalara integrate into the most widely used solutions or offer an open API, which allows users to manage their tax compliance within a single dashboard.

Grow and scale without adding tax pain

Expand Your Business, Not Your Tax Department

Company growth can create more tax pain. Entering new markets and adding sales channels, employees, products, and/or services can trigger new obligations to register and file in more locations.  

So, too, does expanding into international markets. With global sales come more complicated tax rules and an additional set of tax jurisdictions. Value-added tax (VAT) and goods and services tax (GST) are applied differently than U.S. sales tax. And every country’s tax rules are different.

I don’t worry about sales tax at all now.
If we turn on 15 more states tomorrow,
we wouldn’t have to worry about a single thing.

Automation decreases the tax complexity that often comes with business grow. The effort required to maintain compliance in a few states is vastly different when you do business in most of the U.S. And selling into more countries adds a whole new level of complexity. With automation, it’s easier to scale.
