Manufacturing tax automation inside Microsoft Dynamics with Avalara
Automate tax calculations, exemption certificates, returns, and global VAT and e-invoicing in Microsoft Dynamics to help reduce audit risk and IT lift.
Compliance automation that scales with every plant, product, and global sale
Manufacturing tax complexity impacts every stage of the supply chain — from operations and sourcing, to production, inventory and warehousing management, and sales and distribution. Exemption certificate requirements, machinery and tooling rules, and evolving nexus thresholds create audit exposure and can erode margins. Avalara® integrates directly with Microsoft Dynamics® to automate tax calculation, exemption certificate management, consumer use tax, returns, and global mandates like VAT, GST, and e-invoicing. Our cloud-native platform and 1,400+ signed partner integrations deliver regularly updated accuracy — with minimal custom development and reduced ongoing IT maintenance.
Tax shouldn’t slow your production pace
Manual compliance creates hidden costs. According to an Avalara and Potentiate survey, manufacturers with fewer than 500 employees spend an average of 149 hours per month on tax management, and small businesses estimate spending more than $14,000 per month on tax compliance. Automation in Microsoft Dynamics helps make tax a built-in control.
Why Microsoft Dynamics manufacturers automate tax
Manual work inflates costs
Reconciling rates, rules, and filings across locations consumes time and resources. Automation reduces repetitive work and accelerates financial close inside Microsoft Dynamics.
Exemption certificates drive audit risk
Missing or expired certificates cause liabilities and order delays. Automated collection, validation, and renewals at the point of transaction are designed to reduce audit exposure and speed procurement.
Consumer use tax erodes margin
Machinery, tooling, and intercompany transfers are frequent sources of under- or over-accrual. Automated self-assessment helps protect working capital and reduces rework.
Global requirements keep expanding
VAT/GST, duties, and e-invoicing mandates add complexity as manufacturers expand. A connected platform supports global growth without adding tax or IT overhead.
