Avalara can be used to manage the complex fuel and excise tax compliance process by automating tax calculations, filings, and reporting across multiple jurisdictions. Through its AvaTax Excise platform, it determines the correct tax rates for fuel transactions based on product type, location, and customer status, ensuring that the appropriate federal, state, and local excise taxes are applied. The system consolidates transaction data from various sources—such as terminal, import, and retail activity—into a single platform, allowing businesses to prepare and electronically file excise tax returns, including specialized forms like the FT-945 and PT-100. Avalara also supports exemption certificate management for tax-exempt customers and maintains detailed transaction records that simplify reconciliation and audit preparation. By centralizing all return data and automating compliance tasks, Avalara reduces manual effort, minimizes filing errors, and ensures timely and accurate fuel tax reporting.
