    I would put CCH® SureTax® at the top of the scale for any Telecom business or anyone with a known tax scenario that will be similarly sketchy. This software, while not always user friendly, can do amazing things to help you navigate the tax issues facing us all today. This would not be appropriate for a company just needing help gathering their sales tax information. There are plenty of other, friendlier solutions, possibly what they are already using for their accounting that will do it cleaner, easier and cheaper. You just have to ask an expert in that software.

    Pros
    Wolters Kluwer
    • Maintains Nexus nationwide.
    • Implements all of the various sales tax rates nationwide automatically.
    • Clean website that is very user friendly.
    • Support is very quick to respond and always fixes any issues you may be having.
    • We have had this since 2013, and not one time has a sales tax rate been wrong. We used to have Avalara, where we had 12 different overrides in their system just to calculate the correct tax. It is nice not having to maintain those.

    • Manages document compliance in a number of regional locations.
    • Fairly straightforward to configure.
    • Short implementation timeline - supports urgent governance compliance requirements.

    Cons
    Wolters Kluwer
    • We have participated in some prepayment testing so we know that functionality is being built out and what we saw looked really good. We're anxious to have that rolled out.
    • We'd like a cleaner way to export documentation of what was paid and EXACTLY what was paid. Currently web fees and some small balances are not shown by the website and that means making journal entries is a more manual process than hoped.
    • We've been working with folks at SureTax about discrepancies between CCH RADAR rates vs the rates which get used in SureTax. We have learned the 2 systems do not utilize the same data and we often find RADAR is more accurate.

    • Level of detail for reporting between what the statuatory body expects vs what SAP Document and Reporting Compliance provides is different
    • Reliance to integrate through other third party vendors

    We switched our tax service from Avalara to SureTax years ago. Prior to this, we manually prepared the data and ran a report uploading and then got the tax result every time. With Suretax providing enough and flexable APIs, we redesigned and implemented our new application to communicate with SureTax seamlessly and automatically. This greatly reduced our workload, improves the system efficiency, and increased the data accuracy.

    Usability
    Wolters Kluwer
    SureTax is very reliable in with the integration with Microsoft Dynamics GP. It provides accurate tax calculations in accordance with tax updates. SureTax also has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to navigate. It is easy to add customers and also run reports on the website. The overall manageability of it is great!

    It has taken much longer than we would like to get certain issues - and problems - resolved. And the initial product support as we designed the implementation left much to be desired

    Support at times is slow in finding the right component or processor but once you get the right person you can get help pretty quickly with resolutions. Support will not be there for any customization you may have done/had to do on the product.

    Implementation for reporting in general is quite straightforward. Implementation for e-invoicing definitely for new territories is more difficult especially in cases of integration required.

    100% better. Avalara is a self-starter kit where businesses are forced to create and develop their own bundles and product types. The support that you get from the AvaTax is not as user-friendly. SureTax is full of seasoned experts and full of industry leaders. Law firms that I have worked with in the past, as well as other CPAs, only recommend SureTax.

    Coverage is similar: integration for e-invoicing is simpler for DRC, Edicom, and Pagero, which more fully manage tax authority integration, which is vital for ongoing compliance.

    Return on Investment
    Wolters Kluwer
    • Previously we paid $5,200 per year for a standalone telecom tax calculation program. The overall cost of the combined solution that we have is just about the same as the cost of everything that we have before adding that cost in.
    • Once you add in the additional benefit of the API integration and the automation that's freed up employee time, I think it's fairly safe to say that as we've grown, the combined efficiencies have allowed us to operate with two fewer employees than we would have otherwise needed.
    • Over past 4 years we have yet to be notified of any errors in our submitted regulatory taxes.
