Irvine, Calif - September 15, 2004 - Best Software today announced the availability of Vertex Sales Tax RateLocator, a sales tax management subscription service for MAS 90, MAS 200 and MAS 500 customers. Vertex Sales Tax RateLocator provides constant access to the timeliest sales tax rate data available, giving businesses the reliable, current tax information they need to help them ensure tax compliance, delivered in an easy-to-use desktop tool.
“Keeping up-to-date with changing sales tax rates over potentially thousands of jurisdictions can be a time-consuming challenge, and one that can have significant financial impact for small and mid-size businesses,” said Brett Knox, vice president of product marketing for the mid-market division of Best Software. “With new compliance regulations in place, it is critical that businesses have access to the most up-to-date tax information. Our customers will certainly appreciate the capabilities of this easy-to-use desktop tool to help them save time and ensure accuracy in managing their sales processes in the face of ever-changing sales tax rates.”
Vertex Sales Tax RateLocator covers more than 7,800 jurisdictions in the US and Canada, providing service subscribers with immediate and direct access to the sales tax rates for their business locations via an automated rate search tool. Each month, customers are provided with an update file including a summary of rate and note changes, to ensure that they are up-to-date with the latest information.
Vertex Sales Tax RateLocator includes taxability charts, state contact information and special jurisdictional rules, as well as non-standard and special tax rates. With monthly sales tax rate updates sent right to their desktops, businesses using Vertex Sales Tax RateLocator can easily access pertinent tax information by name, drop-down jurisdiction or postal code in the US and Canada, and can easily go back to frequently accessed taxing jurisdictions, using a historical lookup feature. It also maintains historical tax data for 36 months, so that businesses can refer back to previous rates and generate historical or cumulative reports as needed.
