Overview:
Sales tax automation allows organizations to focus on growth without fear of noncompliance. When relying on manual processes or disjointed compliance systems, the likelihood of error increases and teams may spend more time correcting compliance mistakes than managing other financial tasks.
With the rise in omnichannel operations and experienced employees moving out of current roles, organizations need to employ automation where data from multiple business systems is consolidated and there is confidence in the tax being reported to respective departments of revenue. Automating tax determination, exemption certificate management and sales tax filing with integrated tools is the most efficient and simplistic way to accomplish streamlined compliance processes.
During this session, Sovos experts will help you:
- Identify the bottleneck(s) in your existing workflows by defining best practices for managing tax determination, exemption certificate management and sales tax filings
- Understand what questions to ask when exploring automation tools
- Recognize how sales tax automation can re-energize finance teams to support business growth, reduce the costs associated with maintaining compliance and improve organizational efficiency
Learning Objectives:
- Learn best practices for managing the different functional areas of sales tax to effectively meet compliance and regulatory demands.
- Discover the potential advantages and disadvantages of automation tools in streamlining tax functions.
