What is tax automation ?

Tax automation uses software to automatically calculate, apply, and report taxes on transactions based on location and product type.

Tax automation software calculates the correct tax rates for every transaction based on the customer's location, product type, and applicable regulations (VAT, GST, sales tax). It eliminates manual tax calculations and reduces compliance risk.

Example: When a US customer checks out, the tax engine automatically applies the correct state and local sales tax rate. For European customers, VAT is calculated and applied based on their country.
