Overall Satisfaction with Avalara
Avalara, through AvaTax and CertCapture, greatly simplifies our company's compliance with sales tax filings. The representatives are usually very quick to respond when opening a support ticket and are very helpful when needing to ask questions about how to handle new and complex transactions. CertCapture makes it very easy to record tax-exempt forms for clients and reduces the frequency of rebills for customers that were erroneously charged sales tax. AvaTax makes reviewing monthly sales activity for multiple states streamlined, and having Avalara file sales tax returns on our behalf of us allows our finance department to spend less time on the more tedious compliance aspect of sales tax.

Our organization utilizes Avalara Returns for all of our sales tax compliance filings. Having several entities with different filing requirements and reporting periods in states across the country, allows us to spend our time on other matters. CertCapture is a necessity for any organization that has a large number of customers that are exempt from sales tax or have many customers across several states. Backfilling is incredibly helpful if you find that you missed filing any previous sales tax returns due to a change in reporting frequency, or unknown reporting requirements.
