Common Tax Challenges Avalara Solves

Multi-state nexus complexity. As your business grows and triggers tax nexus in more states, manually tracking which rates to charge becomes impossible. Avalara monitors your nexus footprint and applies the correct rates automatically — including local jurisdiction taxes that vary by ZIP code.

Ecommerce tax mismatches. When your ecommerce platform calculates tax separately from NetSuite, discrepancies appear during reconciliation. With Avalara integrated at the NetSuite level, tax calculations are consistent whether orders come through SuiteCommerce, Shopify, or manual entry.

Returns and credit memos. Avalara handles tax adjustments on returns automatically, calculating the correct tax refund based on the original transaction's jurisdiction — not the customer's current address.
