New Tax Codes in AvaTax

New Tax Codes coming October 1, 2013!

In order to provide you with the most accurate sales tax calculations possible, we are activating over 400 new tax codes as of October 1, 2013. Note that no tax codes are being retired as part of this effort.

The tax codes activated provide more granular support for many types of products and services including:

  • Digital Goods
  • Freight
  • Admissions
  • Products or Tangible Personal Property
  • Medical Products/Devices
  • Services

In the past, you may have used a custom tax code to properly tax a SKU. We encourage you to review these new tax codes to see if one of them more accurately reflects your SKUs or can replace a custom tax code.

Please Note: The new tax codes are not yet certified by SST states, and as such, cannot be selected by SST users in the AvaTax Admin Console Tax Code Picker. If you are a Streamlined Sales Tax customer, these codes will become available to you at a later date.

If you have any questions about this notice, please contact us at support@avalara.com or call 877-780-4848 option 2. Standard Support hours are: 7:00am-4:00pm (Pacific), Monday - Friday.
