Sales Tax Service

U.S. Sales Tax

Acceleration Cloud offers a developer API and an online look-up service for sales tax data. By providing as little as a zip code, we can determine the sales tax rates for your customers in their specific geographical area. In most states, the calculation of sales tax and the information changes many times throughout the year, and AccelerationCloud is dedicated to providing you with the critical up-to-date information you need so you can focus on the important parts of your business

How does it work

When you integreate API, you could submit geographic information such as address or city, state, and zip code from your application or website. This data is used determine the correct sales tax information matching the provided location. Our service then returns that information to your application or website. Your application uses the returned data to apply the correct sales tax rates to your customer transaction in real-time.
