5 reasons why manufacturers and distributors should use an indirect tax engine

Can your business meet the complexity of the manufacturing and distribution tax environment? Have you assessed your tax compliance challenges? Have you considered your industry-specific needs?

The trend for manufacturers and distributors to use direct-to-consumer sales channels means the tax and finance team’s responsibilities have expanded. Making sure the correct sales tax, use tax and VAT code is applied to a product or service is a universal challenge. However, manufacturing and distribution organisations face additional challenges. From managing exemption certificates to adapting to changing global supply chains, it’s not easy. Consider implementing an indirect tax engine to streamline tax determination, reduce audit risk, and improve process efficiency.

Utilising an indirect tax engine can save internal teams from constantly researching tax content and identifying errors in tax coding decisions. At the same time audit risk is reduced and process efficiency improved.  Using one indirect tax engine across the organisation enables manufacturing and distribution businesses to scale efficiently, automate processes, and manage taxes across the supply chain. Reduce your risk while providing more value to the business.
