Exemption Certificate Management
The paperwork that wins audits.
Every sale you don't charge tax on is a claim you will eventually have to prove, and exemption certificates are the proof. In most sales tax audits, missing or expired certificates are the single largest source of assessed liability. We keep certificate management as a maintained, audit-ready system.
What's included.
Certificate collection
Outreach to your exempt customers to collect valid certificates for every jurisdiction where you ship untaxed sales.
Validation & review
We check each certificate for what auditors check: correct form, valid registration number, applicable exemption type, signature, and date.
Renewal & expiration tracking
A managed calendar of expirations and state-specific renewal rules, so we refresh certificates before they lapse.
Audit-ready repository
A single organized library, mapped to your customer list, that you can produce in full on the first day of an audit.
Our approach
We start with a gap analysis against your exempt sales, prioritize the largest exposures, and then keep the library current as customers, states, and rules change.
The outcome
Exempt sales you can defend, audit assessments that stay small, and customers you ask for paperwork once, up front, rather than during an audit.
