AvaTax for VAT determination enhancement to support calculation logic
using Delivery Terms update
Avalara has added new delivery terms values to the VAT/GST determination Delivery Terms field in AvaTax.
Delivery terms (or Incoterms) are three-letter trade codes that are used to refer to be agreed upon conditions between a buyer and a seller for the international delivery of goods. They help to describe the arrangements for the delivery of goods from sellers to buyers and set out the obligations, costs, and risks between the two parties.
Delivery terms also support more accurate tax calculation and help you communicate more effectively with your business partner.
In addition, the delivery terms field in AvaTax is used to determine who acts as importer of record and who arranges the transport of the goods.
The following terms are now available for you to use:
- Ex Works (EXW)
- Free Carrier (FCA)
- Carrier and Insurance Paid to (CIP)
- Carriage Paid To (CPT)
