Sales tax rates with best practices, automated approach.
Operating as an integral part of your existing Epicor solution, Epicor Tax Connect automatically calculates taxes during your transactions – real time, dramatically reducing the amount of time your business needs to spend on complex compliance processes, while improving accuracy and reducing costs. Epicor Tax Connect provides your business with a fully integrated and automated Sales Tax Management System, which includes functionality to protect you in the event that your business goes through a sales tax audit, obsolete data, and changing tax laws. It covers all U.S. and Canadian tax jurisdictions and is updated as rates and tax laws change.

>>  Epicor Tax Connect will save significant data entry time in adding new customers, maintaining tax schedules and details for existing customers, and creating tax returns.

>>  Epicor Tax Connect is unsurpassed in ease of use; you have only one tax code instead of hundreds or thousands. Different from other tax calculation solutions, there is no need to research and assign each customer to a specific tax schedule.

As a result, setting up new customers takes much less time, and you never have to research a tax jurisdiction or rate change again.

>>  Epicor Tax Connect ensures accuracy for each and every transaction. First we verify and correct the address, validate the jurisdiction, and then calculate your transaction using the correct rate. Let our address and tax experts research and maintain the data, and NEVER have to worry about choosing another tax schedule again.
