Our staff of dedicated professionals are committed to providing superior service to all of our valued customers.

We combine the accuracy of automation with the caution of manual confirmation to make sure our data is processed to the specifications your business requires.
Our researchers assign a tax rate based on the 5-digit ZIP code and city combination. This combination will often generate several rows of data for a single ZIP code, so our system designates the location containing the United States Postal Office as the primary rate for those customers wishing to eliminate the extra data.
