Purchase process

Tax challenges start long before an invoice is received. Here's how Avalara can help your business through different phases of the purchasing process.

Vendor registration

Problem

Tax calculation errors, delivery of invalid obligation data, increased risk of fraud resulting from issuing invoices to non-existent or non-compliant companies.

Solution

Before calculating taxes, it’s important to make sure the supplier’s data is correct — doing that manually can take hours. Avalara automatically validates information that may be used to determine taxes and obligations at the federal, state, and municipal level, including Simples Nacional, CEPOM, and CND Federal, and maintains proof of the consultation.

Products/services registration

Purchase orders
