Sales tax management and compliance is a tedious activity that’s a burden to many businesses. Companies that are calculating sales tax manually are wasting valuable time and resources on a process that’s complex and error-prone. So let’s explore the benefits of automating sales tax compliance with Sage Sales Tax for Sage X3.
Let’s first take a look at the complexities of sales tax compliance, and then we’ll understand why sales tax automation can hold tremendous value.
Sales tax compliance is a legal obligation and will never represent a profit-generating activity for your business. Therefore, time and money spent on compliance are valuable resources that are drawn away from other areas of your operation that may be more important to your bottom line.
Even if you invest the time and resources to manually calculate sales tax and file the appropriate returns, it’s an extremely error-prone process. With thousands of tax regions to keep track of, overlapping jurisdictional boundaries, and constantly changing rates and taxability rules, it’s virtually impossible for most companies to achieve 100% accuracy. Therefore in addition to the time and money spent on manual compliance, you may be vulnerable to fines, penalties, late fees, and interest charges.
Sales tax may be inevitable, but the hassle doesn’t have to be. By leveraging the power of automation, Sage Sales Tax eliminates the tedious work and complexity associated with calculating, collecting, reporting and remitting taxes in multiple jurisdictions—reducing the risk of penalty in an audit while saving money and significantly improving organizational productivity.
It’s a web-based service that runs behind the scenes of your Sage X3 system which means you use the same order entry and customer screens that you’re already accustomed to. Just enter the customer and product data, and then let Sage Sales Tax automatically perform address validation, rate updates, and sales tax calculations instantaneously.
Sage Sales Tax is fast, easy, accurate, and affordable. It’s time to put the compliance hassles and audit concerns behind you and focus, instead, on the things your company does best!
