Avalara

We used Avalara to track, file, and remit state and international sales taxes.

We file sales tax returns in almost all taxable states. Avalara files our returns. We also use CertCapture and TTR.

We use Avalara Avatax to collect and remit sales tax. We sell to customer nationwide so we have economic nexus in states other than our own. We have an subscription to their Tax Research product as well.

Avalara has provided excellent service in helping us setup each state we have nexus in for sales and use tax. Since the time of getting are accounts setup with each state, we now use Avalara for calculating sales and use tax, housing exemption certificates, and filing returns. The calculating sales and use tax is amazing, we do not have to worry about whether or not we have received and are collecting sales tax based on the most recent updates from each state. Avalara has incorporated into their system the ease of handling these tax updates for each state. Certcapture, which helps with the exemption certificates, works great and seemless with Avatax and helps us manage all of our exemption certificates, let's us know when we need to collect new certificates from our customers, and determines whether or not the customer reason of exemption is valid for each state. <br><br>We have sales all around North America and managing each state would require many employees to stay on top of managing sales tax in each state. We are able to have two employees that use only maybe 20 percent of their time in managing all of our transactions in Avalara.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

I played a pivotal role in implementing AvaTax at Alchemee. I used to manage the system. We filed our US and Canadian returns through this platform. In my current role at Infineon as a Tax Manager, the Indirect tax team uses your Avalara Cert capture and TTR Research tool.

We use it to calculate the sale tax on invoice, to reconcile transaction for accounting purposes. <br>Only small problem we are running into is who is responsible to update the file frequently. We do receive quite a few letters regarding not filing in time and we are being charged interest and penalties.

We use Avalara for our sales tax compliance. Avalara is excellent at tracking the data necessary to fill out the sales tax returns. We have considered using them to submit our returns for us as we are continuously growing. We learned more about sales tax reporting through Avalara and Avatax.

It's used for calculating taxes for various commodities. It can be interfaced with Sage Intacct, and the invoices created in Intacct can be interfaced with Avalara with taxes, where we can download the report and reconcile it weekly. Many other options are also available.

Currently, I am the primary user, with my manager as back-up. I do have plans to roll out the application to billing personnel in my company and to sales for tax calculation.

Determination if sales tax is in applicable in a particular state and/or locality. Also, file sales tax returns in all states applicable. Theoretically, use the product for various other questions related to sales tax, however, that has not worked that well.

The company uses Avatax integrated with invoicing software to calculate sales tax in 20 different states. Avalara also files the returns and makes the prepayments as needed.

Our Company onboarded with Avalara at the bottom of 2019 because of the South Dakota vs. Wayfair decision. The decision was that even though our Company did not have a physical presence in a specific state, economic nexus laws were passed allowing states to impose sales tax obligations to charge out of state sales tax. Avalara provided a way for us to set up our customers who purchase outside of our state as tax exempt in their state in order to purchase goods without having to pay sales tax. There are currently 46 states who have economic nexus and Avalara has made it easy for our Company by having all the sales tax information readily available and even alerting us once we hit economic nexus and have to set up in that state.

We are currently using AvaTax for Filing returns, looking up rates, and CertCapture. Most all of our divisions use the programs as it makes the taxability decisions so much easier and more accurate. CertCapture helps to have one formatted letter to send to new customers for Certificates, and expired or expiring certificates.

Filing almost 100 return on a monthly, quarterly, annual basis for our entity - we are registered in all required states in the US and many individual cities/counties that have separately managed sales tax. This software prevents us from having to manually calculate tax each period and file returns. We also don't need to keep track of tax rate changes because the software updates them automatically. In addition we use the exemption portion to track certificates from our customers, many of whom are exempt because they are hospitals. WE also have the option to write custom rules when we don't agree with the outcome Avalara recommends.

Signing up was easy and completed in a matter of minutes with a real person on the phone. After that, it was all downhill. Support is the worst of any company we deal with. Don't expect a real person to ever call you. Its all done by email. Employees all work from home so they lack any personal skills outside their little box. I email them a question and don't hear back for a few days. Then they explain I just need to login and everything is on my account page. They take money from my card with no explanation as to what all the "fees" are. We just paid a 33.00 fine to the state for something. They claim in Email "that shouldn't have happened" Well - no S**T ! No refund. Then they took 100.00 too much last month and will issue a credit. We actually had some kid call us last week about a billing problem, but he said he works remote and isn't in billing - we need to contact them. Well, good luck. Hope their emails make it to my inbox and not my spam folder. <br>At this point, I plan to just lick my wounds, suck up a 3000.00 loss and cancel everything. Even in the ratings, SUPPORT rates a 3 out of 10. How in the world did they even rate that high. <br><br>As for the Avatar system - I can't even rate it as a 10 when I get a bill with 3 different "fees" and no explanation as to what the fees are for. A 700 dollar tax bill with a 1400 debit to my account for 3 "fees"? I think a lot of their ratings are fake BOTS when you see nothing but a glowing report with -0- negative issues. I plan to shop around and find a different provider, but this experience has been so bad I may just have to keep it in house.

We use Avalara for:<br>1) Excise tax filings (tax department)<br>2) For sales tax verification on live invoices (commercial department)<br><br>It addresses the ease of filing tax returns with various tax jurisdictions. Separately, it assists in calculating the proper tax amounts for our invoices sent to customers.

We are a manufacturing company that normally sells to dealers, who then sell to end users. The vast majority of our customers are exempt from sales tax for purposes of resale. Up until 2020, we were only registered in 3 states for sales tax. We then opened an eCommerce site that required the registration and filing of sales tax in all US applicable states. We use Avatax in conjunction with Progressive Edge to capture all taxable sales to our customers in our ERP system. We also use CertCapture to manage all of our resale certificates for thousands of customers.

Avalara is integrated with our NetSuite application to charge customers sales tax. We do not have the bankwidth to make sure tax codes are correct and to ensure that we have captured the all the taxes that need to be charged for a transaction. We processes over 100 invoices a day and Avalara and AvaTax work in the background to verify resale certificates and charge sales tax on our transactions when the criteria for resale is not met. It cuts down on all the guess work!

We are in the banking software industry and Avalara does a great job in keeping up with the always changing software laws in the states where software is taxable. The Wayfair vs South Dakota changed this software taxability law to another level that we have not seen in the US before and without Avalara, I don't think it's possible to keep up with the changes day in and day out. Avalara is in my opinion the #1 Sales & Use Tax software available today in the market to tackle these software law changes. Having said that, we use Avalara in conjunction with our ERP (NetSuite) for years now and the process is very smooth. As an out-of-state seller into many jurisdictions the process was becoming unmanageable when we were tracking and reporting sales tax manually. Avalara's service cleaned everythng up and it is a releif not to have to worry about the liability and possible mistakes of manual sales tax reporting. We recently got audited by the State of Texas and when the auditor saw that we are using Avalara, she said this makes the process so much easier, and in fact the audit was finished quitely smoothly. Overall, I love this product/software and the entire Avalara team. I am happy and recommend them to anyone looking for a good sales tax and exemption system.

We use Avatax to file sales tax returns. Now that we file based on financial nexus, Avalara helps to keep us in compliance.

We use Avalara across our sales and accounting departments. Avalara integrates with our e-commerce platform to calculate, charge, and collect sales tax. It's helpful that Avalara knows the correct rates to charge for all products in all jurisdictions for all classes of customers. That information is then transmitted to our accounting staff to reconcile with our internal records. Avalara then files the necessary tax returns.

We currently use Avalara in the finance and accounting departments. We love how great it is for Avatax and filing sales tax returns. It helps us keep track of all our exempt customers in one centralized system. We use it multiple times a day to reference whether sales tax should be charged to a customer.

They track all sales and capture sales tax file returns and keep an eye on our exemption certificates. Our business uses Avalara since the government said we needed to pay sales tax in all states. That was way more than our accounting dept was able to handle.

We use Avalara to automate our sales taxes. AvaTax integrates with our Shopify so we don't have to manage tax rates or collection. Shopify remits to us, Avalara gives us a report showing what we owe, and we remit Avalara, who remits to the states. We enrolled for the Streamlined Sales Tax program which saves us a lot of money too!

We use Avalara to calculate our sales tax, and submit our returns.
