FAQ

Sales and use tax software automates the calculation, collection, and reporting of sales and use taxes. It helps businesses stay compliant with local, state, and international tax regulations by determining the correct tax rates based on location, product type, and customer information.

Any business that sells taxable goods or services—especially across multiple states or countries—can benefit from sales and use tax software. This includes e-commerce companies, retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, and service providers.

Vertex's solution integrates with ERP, e-commerce, and billing platforms to:

  • Determine accurate tax rates in real time
  • Apply the right tax rules for each jurisdiction

Sales tax is collected by the seller at the point of sale when goods or services are purchased. Use tax is paid by the buyer when sales tax isn’t collected—for example, in out-of-state or online purchases. Businesses are responsible for tracking and remitting both types of taxes based on where they have nexus.
