Avalara Amplifies Efforts for Governments and the Public Sector

DURHAM, N.C., Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Avalara, Inc., a leading provider of tax compliance automation software for businesses of all sizes, today announced efforts to help government tax administrations reduce complexity and bring efficiency to tax management across the U.S.

According to the National Association of State Budget Officers, state general fund spending growth is expected to slow in fiscal year 2025, and states will continue to emphasize fiscal discipline in a modest budget environment. Governments can look to streamline tax administration to support transparent tax administration for constituents and businesses, while remaining budget conscious.

"As more governments embrace digital transformation to improve the taxpayer experience, state and local tax administrators can benefit from automation to improve accuracy and efficiency, while also helping to adapt quickly to changes in rates and rules," said Scott Peterson, Vice President of U.S. Tax Policy and Government Relations at Avalara. "Avalara's host of government solutions and vast database for tax compliance rates and rules help increase the accuracy and timely validation of tax data for businesses and governments alike."

Governments and public sector agencies across the country are leveraging Avalara's solutions, including the Colorado Department of Revenue and the Missouri Department of Revenue, which use Avalara Tax Research to power publicly available online sales and use tax rate maps.

"For enhanced tax transparency, we needed a streamlined solution to provide our constituents with accessible, comprehensive tax information," said Esta Zaring, Administrator, Business Tax at the Missouri Department of Revenue. "The map developed and maintained by Avalara offers a centralized resource, making it easier for businesses operating in Missouri to quickly find and verify their specific tax rates. This tool is a significant upgrade, providing clarity and convenience for all stakeholders."

Avalara's work with governments and the public sector streamlines tax administration, in turn helping businesses within their respective tax jurisdictions achieve and maintain compliance. Avalara solutions automate returns and reduce complex tax audits for constituents and remote sellers, both domestically and internationally. Avalara is also proud to be a Certified Service Provider (CSP) for the Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) program, a state-run program that simplifies and modernizes sales and use tax collection and administration within 24 participating states around the U.S.
