Frequently asked questions
How does Avalara AvaTax for Accounts Payable work with my purchasing process?
Our solution provides centralized configurations within AvaTax, integrates with the most commonly used systems, and uses real-time and batch transactions for use tax calculation and reporting.
Is sales tax the same as consumer use tax?
Sales tax is assessed at the time of purchase and remitted to the government by the seller. Consumer use tax is self-assessed after the point of purchase, based on a variety of factors, and remitted to the government by the buyer.
What can create a consumer use tax requirement?
Generally, consumer use tax obligations are incurred on purchases when the vendor undercharges or does not charge sales tax. Use tax can also affect previously purchased products, depending on how or where they’re used.
Why is consumer use tax so difficult to manage?
Self-assessment is a manual, resource-intensive process. Use tax rules and rates are also complex and subject to change.
