Tax Determination

The Sabrix Sales Tax and Use Tax Manager determines tax automatically based upon the elements of a transaction. In addition to the standard tax data elements traditional tax software solutions utilize, Sabrix can consider a virtually unlimited number of transaction elements to correctly determine, calculate and report taxes on all sales and purchase transactions.

Sabrix sales and use tax technology automatically determines the correct sales tax and/or use tax for inter-state and intra-state transactions by evaluating the details of the transaction, the invoice or order, and the buyer's and seller's location information to determine the tax obligations in each jurisdiction. Your sales, ordering, accounting and purchasing personnel do not need to manually specify the tax jurisdictions and tax type or spend time researching tax rules and rates for multiple states -- Sabrix technology expertly determines which jurisdictions can tax a transaction and what special rules might apply in a given jurisdiction.

The Sabrix Sales Tax and Use Tax Manager automatically determines any state, county, city, transit, or special district taxes associated with a given address. Additionally, rates and special rules such as maximum tax and tiered taxes are correctly applied. Once the jurisdictions for a transaction have been determined, Sabrix automatically uses customer and product information to determine what exemptions, exceptions, or special rates might apply. The Sabrix Solution correctly handles special tax situations such as:

  • Exemption certificates and direct pay permits
  • Exemptions in sales tax based on product type
  • Reductions in sales tax rates such as those on certain medical supplies
  • Capped tax, maximum tax, and tiered tax
  • Reduced rates negotiated between specific companies and taxing jurisdictions
  • Jurisdiction overrides
