Frequently asked questions
Most states have economic nexus rules, which means you need to register there if you reach a certain sales threshold. Some states count exempt sales toward their nexus threshold; others omit them.
Avalara monitors nexus thresholds in each state, according to individual state rules. You’ll get an alert when your business triggers an obligation to collect sales tax or exemption certificates.
Tax rates don’t always align with ZIP codes. And using rate tables doesn’t account for special product taxability rules or sales tax holidays.
Each state has its own rules for filing frequency and deadlines. States also have different requirements for filing if you haven’t had a recent sale in their jurisdiction.
Whether selling in new markets or expanding your product line, growth often means additional tax obligations. Avalara offers a variety of standalone and add-on products to address different needs, including:
Licensing
Specialty tax calculation
Advanced exemption management
International tax compliance
While we can provide pricing for Avalara solutions, it can be a bit trickier to determine how much it costs to use a manual compliance process. Our cost of manual compliance calculator can give you an idea of how much you’re spending each year.
We offer a solution designed specifically for accounting professionals and services. Take a look at the Avalara Accountant Program.
