What is the Sales/Use Tax System? 

The Sales/Use Tax System is software that can do the sales/use tax work for you - automatically. The system calculates and applies the sales and use tax rates for goods and services for any jurisdiction within the United States (including its possessions) and for the Canadian provinces. Non-standard tax rates and exemptions for special product types are automatically calculated through the Sales/ Use Tax System's "Taxability Matrix". Changes in sales and use tax laws are monitored monthly.

VERAZIP Interface - Optional Package

VERAZIP is an optional package used with Taxware that verifies U.S. Zip Codes based on the record's city and state information. SX.enterprise screens that use Taxware and VERAZIP will display a required two-digit Geo-Code field. Geo-Codes allow the system to distinguish between different tax jurisdictions that share the same city/town, state and zip code.

How is VERAZIP Used?

SX.enterprise passes city, state, and zip code information to VERAZIP to be verified and allows the user to select the Geo-Code that is most likely to denote the taxing jurisdiction. This process is accomplished through a standard SX.enterprise lookup tied to the Geo-Code field. Once the proper record is chosen, the city/town, state, zip code and Geo-Code information is copied from the lookup back to the SX.enterprise screen. VERAZIP can verify number combinations of address information. The information returned to the SX.enterprise screen depends on the information populated before calling the lookup.

• The system automatically validates and corrects 5-digit zip codes, state codes, and city names. 
• VERAZIP can generate Geo-Codes by accessing its comprehensive database.
• You can use it online as an order entry edit system to guarantee proper city and state information.
• You can use the system to verify zip codes on your existing files.
• Use report programs to display lists based on selected criteria.
• System will automatically validate input, check against the VERAZIP database, and notify if something does not match.
• VERAZIP runs on virtually all computers and is the ideal companion edit run for the Sales/Use Tax System
