Likelihood to Recommend

Tadano America Corporation has been using AvaTax for a while, so our historical data is there for us to go back and access in the situation where the company will be audited in the near future. As for scenarios where Avalara is less appropriate, it will be in assisting our company in filing our Canadian tax return.
