What changes

Your team has better things to do than fix sales tax.

No more manual fixes

Retire the spreadsheets, overrides, and custom scripts that keep tax right today.

Scale without a rebuild

Add products, entities, and jurisdictions without rebuilding your tax setup.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Here are the questions we hear most from teams weighing a switch.

Why do companies replace legacy sales tax software?

Most legacy tax engines began with simple retail sales and added complexity later, so companies with high volumes, many jurisdictions, or industry taxes end up fixing results by hand. CereTax calculates sales tax at the transaction and shows the jurisdiction, the rule, and the source behind every rate.

How long does it take to switch to CereTax?

Most deployments take less than 90 days, and prebuilt integrations connect in days. Our team supports the implementation from the first call.

Does CereTax file sales tax returns?

No. CereTax calculates tax and supplies the reports your filing provider uses, so it works beside the accounting firm or compliance partner you already have.

Which industries is CereTax built for?

CereTax is built for businesses with complex indirect tax: communications, deregulated energy, SaaS, manufacturing, ecommerce and retail, digital goods, and streaming.

Which systems does CereTax connect to?

CereTax integrates with ERP, billing, and ecommerce platforms, including NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, QuickBooks Online, Salesforce, Stripe, BigCommerce, and Rillet. Custom systems connect through the CereTax API.

What support do CereTax customers get?

Every product includes support from experienced tax professionals who pick up the phone, understand the question, and help move it forward.

How is CereTax priced?

CereTax uses transparent, usage-based pricing: requests, transactions, or seats, depending on the package. We give clear cost estimates during scoping and avoid sudden price hikes. Contact sales for a custom quote.
