Frequently asked questions

DAVO by Avalara transfers your sales tax revenue from your bank account to a secure tax holding account. Your sales taxes are paid from this account when we file your return directly to the state.

Yes! DAVO by Avalara guards against missing sales tax payments. Adding automation helps avoid risks from human or manual error.

No. Davo by Avalara can collect sales tax for all transactions, including cash, credit, debit, gift cards, checks, etc.

Refunds are calculated in the POS system, and refunded sales tax is subtracted from your total collected daily sales tax.

Avalara offers free sales tax rate tables that are updated each month, and information is available for all 50 states.

Technically, yes. DAVO by Avalara can collect and set aside your sales tax funds daily, but we cannot file for you since we have no way of knowing what tax jurisdictions your truck is moving between.

Each month we would refund the sales tax money we collect and you would have to file and pay the state.
