TAX RATING

TYPES OF SERVICE SUPPORTED

Any transactions that require federal, state or local taxation must be tax

rated – either by a company’s billing software or by an outsource vendor like Atlantax. Maintaining current and accurate tax rates is a compli-cated, expensive and never-ending task that can stress even the best of internal tax departments.

Atlantax’s Tax Rating service manages the process of determining and assigning taxes to individual taxable transactions thereby enabling the reporting and payment of tax liabilities. Our process imports the client’s transaction records, identifies tax situs and taxability then rates each indi-vidual transaction and appends the tax detail to the client’s records for billing.

The client can then import the newly appended data records into their accounting and billing software for customer invoicing and internal audit-ing. Clients using Atlantax Systems, Inc. for tax compliance processing enjoy a seamless transition of their data from the tax rating process into our tax compliance software for return generation.

OPTIONAL OPERATIONS REVIEW

ECM OPERATIONAL FUNCTIONS

EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE MANAGEMENT (ECM)

Clients outsourcing the tedious and time consuming ECM function to Atlantax benefit from our efficient and cost effective solution. Sure, you can license ECM software and have your staff do the work in house, but is that the best use of your limited budget and human resources? Consider:

 Initial software licensing cost  Annual renewals

 Employee training on software  Equipment & overhead

 ECM reconciliation with billing department  Audit support & defense

Atlantax' ECM service insures that tax exemption certificates are valid, on file and match your billing system exemptions. Certificates are monitored by the system, then new certificates are requested before existing ones expire. When requested we prepare, deliver and maintain a valid exemption certificate for your company’s tax exempt purchases.

Put the power of Atlantax’ Exemption Certificate

Management service to work for your company today

by calling 678-281-1976.

Exemption certificates are proof that a vendor did not have to collect taxes from specific customers. Your customer may be an exempt reseller or a non-profit entity, but whatever their business segment they need to pro-vide documentation to any vendor they purchase from as proof that they are not legally required to pay taxes on certain purchases. If a vendor does not maintain a valid exemption certificate for the time period when the exemption was applied, then that vendor would be required to pay the taxes to the jurisdiction during an audit.

 Review current certificates

 Reconcile certificates to billing system  Work with vendor or customer to resolve

issues identified

 Set up exemption certificate database  Process requests for exempt status from

customer

 Process exemption certificates received from a customer

 Process an exemption certificate requested by a vendor

 Provide documentation & support during an audit
