CereTax vs. SureTax: The Next Generation of Telecom Sales Tax Automation

Built by telecom tax veterans. Powered by cloud-native precision. See why the future of telecom compliance belongs to CereTax — today’s SureTax alternative for scale, accuracy, and confidence.

Why Teams Are Evaluating SureTax Alternatives

Telecom taxation continues to get more complex with more special jurisdictions, evolving rules for usage-based billing, and new regulatory requirements arrive every quarter. What once worked for the industry no longer fits the way modern providers operate.


SureTax served its purpose in a different era. But as the platform shrinks and support thins out, many finance and IT leaders are asking the same question: what happens when our tax engine can’t keep up?


CereTax was built to answer that. Modern from day one, the platform combines a cloud-native, API-first architecture with rooftop-level GIS sourcing, purpose-built telecom logic (E911, USF, bundled/usage models), and a support model designed to keep tax operations running smoothly. It’s the platform built for the speed, transparency, and adaptability today demands.
