Ask the Right Questions Before You Decide

How does your tax compliance vendor stack up?

Before committing to a tax compliance platform, make sure you ask:

Are you locked into a rigid pricing model with no visibility into future changes?

Can the system handle new product/service lines, marketplace-sales, digital services and global expansion without costly add-ons?

Will you have a trusted tax advisor and proactive governance built into the engagement or simply software and self-service?
