12th Annual OVERVIEW Your clients, whether a home-based business or multinational enterprise, face the burden of accurately calculating, collecting, and remitting transactional taxes – or demonstrating that they're exempt from paying these taxes. Before Avalara came around, most businesses were forced to manage this burden with cumbersome and inaccurate manual processes, or expensive and overly- complex hardware and software systems. Avalara changed all that by pioneering a cloud-based software platform that provides an end- to-end suite of transactional tax compliance solutions. We believe the time has come for all businesses to outsource and automate sales tax, much like companies did with payroll years ago. Avalara works within your clients' accounting, billing, ecommerce, or point of sale system to deliver accurate tax calculations in real time via a secure Internet connection. And even better, once your client is using Avalara, they no longer have to worry about ever-changing sales tax rates, rules, boundaries, exemptions, tax holidays, reporting requirements, and fling deadlines. PRODUCTS Avalara AvaTax connects to the software that your clients already own and dynamically delivers instantaneous sales tax decisions based on precise geo-location in more than 10,000 taxing jurisdictions in the U.S. For most businesses sales tax is an obligatory, complex nightmare. Automating this process saves time, money and effort. AvaTax automatically assigns hundreds of thousands of taxability rules and the latest jurisdiction boundaries to deliver the right rate and tax calculation. Avalara Returns: Filing and remitting sales tax returns and payments is a time- consuming, budget-draining, and error prone activity. Avalara Returns helps ensure end-to-end automation of your clients' sales tax compliance processes. With the help of pre-loaded calendars you can easily manage your remittance schedule, automating the entire fling process. Avalara Returns ensures the right amount is remitted to the right taxing authority at the right time. Avalara CertCapture is a powerful management tool that creates, validates, stores, and manages sales tax exemption and reseller certifcates and makes them available for easy retrieval. Having an end-to-end exemption certifcate management system in place limits audit exposure and ensures that every non- taxable transaction is tracked correctly. CertCapture manages expiration dates and fags upcoming renewals to ensure accurate tax billings on invoices and to prevent order processing delays. Avalara 1099: Every year, new 1099 reporting requirements are added at the state and federal level. These changes and additional reporting responsibilities usually mean additional work for businesses. Avalara 1099 is a web-based tool that helps ensure IRS compliance, providing Accounts Payable departments with a turnkey solution to 1099 reporting. Our web-based service streamlines the collection, storage, and management process to save time and protect against unnecessary audit penalties.
