Sales and use taxes are different than direct taxes in that they touch every transaction your organization makes and are constantly interacting with your ERP. These differences create different system requirements as well. Proper usage of software applications and tools can greatly improve your indirect tax efficiency and accuracy. Investing in upfront tools can reduce recurring data manipulation chores, implement stronger procedural controls, and open up tax calculation and reporting possibilities that you had not previously considered.
Join our experts, Chris Pounds and Scott Billadeau, in exploring the different offerings within tax technology and how to select the right application for your needs.

Exemption Certificate Manager (ECM): An exemption certificate manager, or an “ECM,” is a platform that enables businesses to collect, validate, and renew resale and sales tax exemption certificates.
Nexus: The term nexus is used in tax law to describe a situation in which a business has a "nexus" or tax presence in a particular state or states. A nexus is basically a connection between a taxing jurisdiction, like a state, and an entity like a business that must collect or pay the tax.
Tax Engine: Tax Engines are third party software providers that track every U.S. tax rate and taxability treatment and allow for these rates and rules to be applied to your transactions.
Taxability Decision Matrix: The Taxability Matrix identifies each of the definitions and tax administration practices adopted by the Governing Board and which each state must follow.
