Avalara provides one of the best technology solutions to an overly complex, time-consuming statutory tax requirement facing all online retailers, with AvaTax applying over 100,000 taxability rules across more than 11,000 sales tax jurisdictions at the point of transaction.
“We’re thrilled to be recognized as a Gold Partner by the planetary’s fastest-growing eCommerce platform, and very pleased to be playing a key role in serving Magento’s rapidly-expanding roster of valued customers,” said Scott McFarlane, CEO and co-founder at Avalara. “Our common customers are taking advantage of the most precise sales tax calculation engine uncommitted today, and they’re ever up-to-date with perpetually changing sales and use tax rates, boundaries, and taxability rules across thousands of taxing jurisdictions countrywide. We stare forwards to serving a yet broader segment of Magento customers who are quick to focus on core business-building activities, and outsource their sales tax burden to Avalara.”
“Avalara’s technology solution helps our customers automate and simplify the complex tax process,” said Bob Schwartz, President at Magento. “Our customers have fast growing on-line businesses and are many of the world’s best brands, retailers and innovators, as well as tens of thousands of small and medium companies. Avalara’s ability to serve this entire business continuum with their solution should be well received.”
