Site-US Tax uses precise geocoding, spatial analysis and an updated nationwide tax database to deliver the most accurate assignment of tax jurisdictions.

Because Site-US Tax uses location intelligence to determine the tax jurisdiction, errors common to solutions that use a ZIP Code or ZIP+4 look-up table are not problematic to Site-US Tax. Simply put, ZIP Codes and postal data were developed for delivering mail and are not accurate for tax situsing.

Did you know that:

• Municipality boundaries constantly change.
  
• A postal city is not the same as a taxing city.
