Overall Satisfaction with Avalara

We are an auction house that sells historic and collectable philatelic and numismatic items. Avalara keeps track of sales tax rates and the taxability of different items which are subject to various forms of taxation in differing jurisdictions. Avalara takes the worry out of our sales and seller's use tax filings. Avalara also keeps track of where we have economic nexus and where we are approaching economic nexus. This helps us assure that we are compliant with our obligations.

Pros

  • Sales tax compliance
  • Tracking economic nexus
  • Avoiding tax penalties

Cons

  • Avalara manages their business well.
  • I do not see a need for improvement
  • Avalara reduces the time spent computing sales tax rates for different products and jurisdictions.
  • Avalara decreases our labor costs incurred in tax compliance.
  • Avalara reduces the costs associated with late filings. They always file and pay our tax on time.
  • Our accounting program uses an API to work with Avalara
It is easy to use and provides swift and accurate tax returns that are filed on a timely basis. The sandbox product allows us to try out various options before putting them into production. It also allows us to monitor our monthly sales tax obligations as we complete our auctions. This allows us to bill our clients in a timely and accurate manner.
