Avalara for tax calculation and compliance
Taxes aren't something you want to leave to chance. As a retail business, where and how you calculate and remit taxes on the goods you sell plays a critical role in the compliance of your operation.
In 2018, the tax landscape in the United States changed significantly. The Supreme Court ruled in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. in a decision that overruled a longstanding physical presence rule (aka "nexus"), allowing states to require merchants to collect and remit sales tax. Since then, many states have adopted new rules that define what sales/tax obligations look like, and it's a patchwork of laws across the country.
GRAYBOX works with merchants to implement effective ecommerce solutions. A critical component is leveraging the right solution for accurately calculating taxes for the products merchants sell. As part of our engagement with merchants, we can recommend the best solution for a merchant's needs and configure it within the ecommerce platform. For our ecommerce client-partners, Avalara is the best solution for calculating — and remitting — taxes across the United States.
