AvaTax seamlessly automates standard sales tax, but isn’t designed for specialized communications taxes. Applying standard tax logic to voice, data, or connected devices causes undercollection, hidden audit risks, and out-of-pocket penalties.

Avalara offers a purpose-built communications product that manages standard sales and use tax alongside the unique demands of digital and telecom services:

• Calculates both standard sales and use tax alongside 10–15+ communications taxes per transaction.
• Navigates complex, hyper-local jurisdictional boundaries automatically.
• Eliminates the risk of under-collection associated with relying solely on standard sales tax logic.
• Integrates directly with your billing systems and leading PSAs (like ConnectWise, Halo, and Autotask).
• Accurately parses and taxes complex multi-product bundles and tiered pricing structures.
• Automates specialized compliance returns preparation, filing, and remittance.
