Frequently asked questions
How is Avalara AvaTax different from other tax calculation systems?
Avalara AvaTax is an advanced solution that uses geolocation and address verification to calculate sales tax down to a specific address, accounting for multiple tax jurisdictions in a single ZIP code, complex tax tiers, and more. If you need to calculate tax on international transactions, AvaTax offers an option for that too. Avalara also has solutions to prepare and file your returns as well as easily manage exemption certificates in the cloud, all of which are integrated with AvaTax.
How does Avalara AvaTax keep up with changes to tax rates and regulations?
Avalara AvaTax is regularly updated with the latest tax rates and rules for thousands of tax jurisdictions. The cloud-based platform applies updates in real time, so you always have highly accurate tax information, helping you to stay compliant with changing tax laws without manual intervention.
Do you offer an annual or monthly agreement? Does it renew automatically?
Avalara provides a 12-month agreement that you can pay annually or in monthly installments. Agreements automatically renew at the end of each term, but you can cancel before your new term begins, according to our terms.
Is usage measured annually or monthly? Will any unused portion of my plan roll over to the next year?
Usage is measured annually. If your plan allows for calculations on 500 transactions per year, for example, you can use those transactions anytime during your annual subscription term. Transactions don’t roll over and must be used within the subscription term in which they’re purchased.
Can Avalara AvaTax still calculate tax if I don’t have addresses for every customer?
Yes, but for the most reliable rates, Avalara needs an accurate and complete address, or the latitude and longitude (U.S. only), to calculate tax.
Does Avalara AvaTax calculate sales tax on return transactions?
Yes, AvaTax calculates sales tax on credit memos.
