Sales Tax Getting You Down?

The appropriate sales tax solution depends on your company’s requirements. This all starts with your accounting system, business processes, products, cost, down to ship to addresses, ship from addresses, customer exemption, invoice structure, contract relationships, etc. Does your tax process reach across multiple jurisdictions? Do you need to report to a number of states? Are you clear on the taxability of your products and services in each jurisdiction? Do you need to know which side of the street your customers’ ship-to addresses are located?

There are a number of solutions on the market available that can meet your needs, no matter how complex. Choosing the best sales tax solution for your business requires you to answer a number of questions. In most cases, you will be able to find a solution to work without modification, but even the most complex requirements can be met with clear definitions and customization.

Different tax rates on thousands of part numbers?
Setting up the product category and code for thousands of inventory items can be time consuming and error prone. Automating that process through modifications will reduce that manual input significantly and allow you to maintain your products by item class. In one case, we were able to reduce maintenance on over five thousand parts by grouping inventory into six item classes.

How long are your part numbers?
Some online sales tax solutions have backend restrictions on the length of the part number the system can process. While this needs to be considered when evaluating solutions, there are still multiple options that we can explore to meet your requirements. 

Reporting sales taxes to multiple states?
This can be a cumbersome process, but tax solutions can easily automate the process. Do away with all the time you spend completing the required tax filing documents. Do it all with a few clicks of a button.

Keeping up with changes can be a full-time job for a number of people depending on the number of tax jurisdictions you serve. With a solid sales tax solution, the rate tables are maintained for you. If you are using one of our recommended online solutions, tax rate changes can be a headache from the past.

Is security a concern?
If you have government or corporate policies that restrict data usage for integrated online services, tax tables can be maintained locally. Tax rate changes will be sent to you monthly and can be loaded into Dynamics GP using a simple upload process. Inclusion of local tax tables makes sure all your taxation requirements are captured.

Sales Tax compliance is a complex process for many organizations.  Keep on top of unique requirements and changes with an automated sales tax solution that will meet your needs.  No need for taxes to get you down.
