Comprehensive and current tax rates, applied in real time
Avalara AvaTax is a cloud-based sales and use tax calculation system
Sales tax is hard. There’s always the possibility of changing legislative regulations, new tax rules, or shifts in product taxability. And there’s a big financial risk for your business if you’re getting it wrong.
Let AvaTax calculate sales tax for every one of your business transactions based on jurisdiction laws and rules, without bogging down your IT or finance teams.
“AvaTax keeps up with tax changes in a way that no person realistically could."

Neighbors can have different rates
Keep up with rate changes at every address
Sales and use tax rates are complex and vary across jurisdictions, counties, states, and countries. AvaTax assesses rates based on geolocation, not ZIP code, so your customers are charged the right rates for their purchases. Plus, you get address validation for improved accuracy in invoices.
Not all products are taxED equally
AvaTax automatically applies differing tax rates
Some jurisdictions have special rates for items based on materials, price point, function, or other factors that aren’t immediately obvious. AvaTax calculates the right rate for a variety of circumstances, including product-specific tax rates, sales tax holidays, shipping and handling rules, and more.
Take the mystery out of where to file
See your economic nexus status across multiple states
AvaTax actively monitors your business activities and alerts you when you’re about to establish tax obligations in new places, based on their individual nexus laws. A map view lets you easily see where you currently have to file, as well as where you’re approaching new thresholds.
Simplify returns filing and audits
Consolidate reports on sales tax liabilities, and exemptions
Export data from multiple business systems to create reports on your transactions, liabilities and tax exemptions.
AvaTax reports can significantly reduce the effort and time it takes to prepare returns or address auditor needs.
