Vertex® Sales Tax Training - Q Series® for Tax

Vertex Sales Tax Q Series is Vertex's client/server tax compliance system. It works with your host financial application to determine the correct tax amount by searching its databases for exceptions, the appropriate taxing jurisdiction, and the correct tax rate. Vertex Sales Tax Q Series then calculates the tax amount and passes this information back to the host system for invoicing. The transaction data is stored in the Register Database and is used to create audit and management reports, and to prepare tax returns.

We offer two Vertex Sales Tax Q Series courses, the course described below is for Tax Professionals. Technology personnel responsible for supporting Vertex products can register for the course designed for System Implementers.
