Support Avalara data-set boundaries for Streamlined Sales Tax states for non-SST transactions
Before this release, if there was a transaction in a Streamlined Sales Tax state with a Streamlined Sales Tax company that has both Sales Tax or Seller Use Tax or Consumer Use Tax and Multiple tax types calculated, the tax region was determined using Avalara boundary content for all tax types.
With this release, the tax calculation determination for Streamlined Sales Tax transactions with multiple taxes is enhanced with a new configuration, EnableSSTtransactionsWithMultitaxToBeGeolocated, to enable these changes.
Now, if there’s a transaction in a Streamlined Sales Tax state with a Streamlined Sales Tax company and the transaction has both Sales Tax or Seller Use Tax or Consumer Use Tax and Multiple tax types calculated, the tax region is determined using Avalara boundary content for Sales Tax or Seller Use Tax or Consumer Use Tax types. For Multiple taxes, the tax region is determined based on the geolocation.
Addition of a refinement task for test transactions on the Avalara Home
After you connect your business application with AvaTax, you must send a few test transactions to ensure that the connection works fine and tax is calculated.
You can use the new refinement task Create test transactions to double-check your setup from the Fine-tune your tax profile section on the Avalara Home.

Added post onboarding tasks on the Avalara Home
The following post onboarding tasks are added to the Avalara Home:
- Classify your products If you haven’t assigned HS codes to your products during onboarding, you will see the Classify your products option in the Avalara Home post onboarding.
- Custom duty estimation If customs duty is applicable in the registered country and you’ve not selected a pricing strategy to calculate custom duties during onboarding, you can complete this task using the Custom duties estimation option in the Avalara Home.
Added support to estimate custom duties
We’ve added the Custom duties estimation list on the Countries where you report tax page for Cross-Border Estimated subscribers. If customs duty is applicable in your registered country, you can determine how to estimate duties for the missing, partial, or incorrect tariff codes. Based on your item description and the corresponding HS code, AvaTax identifies the pricing strategy as Minimum, Maximum, Median (default), and Average duty cost. For information on Pricing strategy calculation, see Applying pricing strategy to a duty calculation.
