Every state your group sells into has its own thresholds, rates and deadlines. Your specialist monitors every state, registers you only where you owe, files and pays on time, and replies when the state writes back.
Tech when it counts. Human where it matters.
Growth means new registrations, new filings and a notice if you miss one. We work as an extension of your finance team: your specialist learns how each entity sells and invoices, sets up our process to fit, and your team still sees every registration, return and payment.
It connects to the ERP, billing and ecommerce systems where your data already sits, then runs the full cycle for you: validation, returns and filing in every state you owe, through to notices and audit support. The same platform simplifies VAT and GST compliance in 100+ jurisdictions.
Your specialist takes the time to understand your business: how each entity sells, how you invoice and where your exposure sits. Behind them, our US sales tax team works with nexus thresholds, marketplace facilitator rules and home-rule cities every day, so we register you only where you owe.
A dedicated onboarding specialist takes you from discovery to your first filing. We take over your existing state registrations and give you sandbox access before day one, so you can test everything before anything goes live.
Your managed fee covers filing and payment in every state you owe, replies to state notices and exemption certificate management, all in one simple structure.
Whether you need the right rate at checkout, a new state registration or a clean-up of past exposure, your specialist team covers it.
Your specialist runs your filing calendar across every state and local jurisdiction you owe, whether a state wants returns monthly, quarterly or annually. Returns are prepared from your live data, checked line by line, then filed and paid on time. You approve; we do the rest.
Learn about the managed serviceThe right rate and taxability on every sale, returned in under a tenth of a second inside the ERP, billing and ecommerce systems you already run, with a full breakdown down to city, transit and special district taxes. Every transaction then flows straight into your returns: no exports, no rekeying, no manual reconciliation.
Learn about tax determinationWe track every state's threshold on both sales value and transaction count, and flag physical as well as economic nexus. You see how close you are in each state, and before you cross a threshold, you get an alert and a call from your specialist. We register you only where you owe, once you approve, and deregister you when you no longer do, so you never pay for registrations you don't need.
Learn about registrationsYour customers submit resale and exemption certificates through their own portal. We store each one against the right customer, entity and state and send reminders before it expires, so your exempt sales are documented when a state asks.
Learn about exemption certificatesNotices, letters and audit requests go to us, not your inbox. Your specialist responds, resolves and keeps you posted.
See how we handle noticesOur platform assesses your sales data across every US state, including local and home-rule jurisdictions. Our specialists then rank the risks and clean them up through VDAs and back-filings, so you're clear before a capital raise, an acquisition or a state audit.
Book an exposure reviewRates, nexus thresholds and filing deadlines change from state to state, and some cities add their own. Our free state guides set out what applies in each one, from California's district taxes to Colorado's home-rule cities.

Explore e-InvoicingYour business is probably owed foreign VAT on travel, events and services abroad. We find it and get it back, on a success fee.
Explore VAT reclaimSince the 2018 South Dakota v. Wayfair ruling, states can require you to collect sales tax once your sales into the state pass a threshold, even with no physical presence. A physical presence, such as employees, offices or inventory, can also create nexus regardless of sales. The rules vary by state, so we monitor both everywhere and tell you before you cross a threshold.
Yes. We monitor nexus across every state and file in every state and local jurisdiction where you owe sales tax, including home-rule jurisdictions with their own rules. Five states have no statewide sales tax, though some Alaska localities charge one.
In most states, marketplaces such as Amazon collect and remit tax on sales made through them. Some states still count those sales toward your nexus threshold, and others don't. We track both, so your threshold position is right.
It depends on the state. Some tax SaaS and digital products in full, some partly and some not at all. We map each of your products to the right tax category in every state, so you charge the right rate.
Yes. Our engine returns the rate and taxability in under a tenth of a second inside the major ERP, billing and ecommerce platforms, broken down by state, county, city, transit and special district taxes. Every calculation flows straight into pre-populated returns on our platform, so there's nothing to export or rekey. If the service is ever unavailable, fallback rates keep checkout running.

It's more common than you'd think. We assess your exposure state by state, prepare voluntary disclosure agreements and back-filings, and deal with the states for you, which often limits penalties and look-back periods. VDAs are generally only available before a state contacts you, so start early.
Yes. US sales tax runs on the same platform as VAT and GST, so your team sees every obligation, entity and deadline in one place, with one provider.
