Avalara AvaTax automatically calculates sales tax based on location. When you tender or save sales, AvaTax instantly calculates the tax amount through your Internet connection.

You can choose to force the use of AvaTax on all sales or choose to use it on certain sales. When you set up integration with AvaTax, a Tax Code called AVATAX is created. You cannot edit this Tax Code; it acts as a placeholder in Denali and all tax is calculated by AvaTax.

Before you set up integration in Denali, be sure your AvaTax account is set up to meet the needs of your business. For example, you must set up Nexus locations for accurate sales tax calculations. See your AvaTax documentation for details.
