    Avatax: Efficient Sales Tax Calculation Across Complex US Laws

    4.0
    Jul 29, 2026
    Avatax deals very well with its main purpose - it calculates the sales tax in respect of various complicated tax rules in the US. It generally doesn't require too much maintenance and is easily scalable which is important when the company increases sales within new regions of the world, breaking the thresholds where registering for tax purposes is mandatory. What didn't quite work for us was when the service was majorly disrupted for a few days and the issue wasn't discovered promptly - I feel there was no adequate compensation offered.

Dislike

1. Customer service is almost non-existent. It is farmed out to call centers and they have no real authority to explain or resolve issues. 2. The turnover in account managers assigned to accounts is unbelievable. It changes on a monthly or almost quarterly basis so there is no one with whom to speak and they are never familiar with anything that was discussed with the prior rep. 3. Billing mistakes can happen too often with Avalara and with no one to speak with, these mistakes are almost impossible to correct.
