Sales Tax Calculator for Sage MAS 500

How can AvaTax Connect help MAS 500 users? It's simple - one word: AvaTax. Select Avatax as the Tax Schedule ID for all your clients, and completely automate all aspects of sales tax compliance for your business.

AvaTax Connect save significant data entry time in adding new customers, maintaining tax schedules and details for existing customers, and distribution and accruals of payables transactions to multiple accounts.

With AvaTax Connect you have only ONE tax schedule instead of hundreds or thousands. Different from other tax calculation solutions, there is no need to research and assign each customer to a specific tax schedule. There is just one single schedule that applies to all customers: AvaTax. As a result, setting up new customers takes much less time, NEVER have to research a tax jurisdiction or rate change again.

AvaTax ensures 100% accuracy for each and every transaction, first we verify and correct the address, validate the jurisdiction, and then calculate your transaction using the correct rate. Let our address and tax experts research and maintain the data, and NEVER have to worry about making a tax choice decision again.

AvaTax Connect provides you "best practices" in sales and use tax compliance. Reporting includes complete detail of every transaction, along with reason and location codes, whether it was taxable not, and revenue and cost account reconciliation.

Address Verifications
U.S. Postal Service CASS certification and validation of the street address. ZIP PLUS 4 - PLUS 4 determines the exact jurisdiction in which tax is to be calculated, rather than choosing between up to the five different jurisdictions that can apply when using only a five digit ZIP code. No more bad addresses in data entry, each order gets your customers address right the first time. US Postal Service "CASS" certification reduces shipping mistakes & makes you eligible for preferential shipping rates.
