Does NetSuite have sales tax automation?

NetSuite calculates sales tax within NetSuite, but the calculations are often inaccurate—especially with SuiteTax's automated rates. NetSuite doesn't file sales tax returns automatically or track nexus thresholds. You file manually in each state portal every month or quarter. Galvix provides complete automation: accurate calculations that replace NetSuite's tax engine, plus expert-prepared returns filed on your behalf at $75 per state. Works with both SuiteTax and Legacy Tax.

Does NetSuite track economic nexus thresholds?

No. NetSuite doesn't track nexus or send threshold alerts. You're responsible for monitoring thresholds yourself, typically using saved searches or spreadsheets. NetSuite also only tracks transactions within NetSuite—it ignores sales from other channels. Galvix monitors sales across all your channels and sends proactive alerts at 75%, 85%, and 95% of threshold limits, giving you time to register before nexus is established.

What's the difference between NetSuite SuiteTax and Legacy Tax?

Legacy Tax requires manual rate management for every jurisdiction. SuiteTax provides automated monthly rate updates for 110 countries, but users report these rates are often inaccurate. SuiteTax is also non-reversible—once enabled, you can't switch back—and requires complex setup. Neither system files returns automatically, tracks nexus, or provides accurate calculations at the local level. Galvix works with both setups and fills all these gaps.

Why is NetSuite calculating incorrect sales tax amounts?

NetSuite struggles with accurate, up-to-date rate tables and product taxability rules. Legacy Tax requires manual management, which is prone to errors. SuiteTax provides automated updates, but users frequently report inaccuracies—especially for local jurisdiction rates. Galvix replaces NetSuite's tax engine with rooftop-level accurate calculations across all U.S. jurisdictions. Works with both SuiteTax and Legacy Tax.

Can NetSuite handle sales tax for multiple sales channels?

NetSuite only calculates tax for transactions within NetSuite itself. If you sell through multiple channels, you'll need to manually aggregate data to determine accurate nexus obligations. NetSuite won't track consolidated nexus across all your sales channels. Galvix consolidates sales from all your channels for accurate multi-channel nexus tracking and returns filing.

What happens during a sales tax audit if I use NetSuite?

NetSuite provides sales tax reports but offers no expert guidance during audits. You're on your own to respond to state inquiries, defend calculation methodologies, and provide comprehensive documentation. Many NetSuite users hire separate tax accountants for audit support. Galvix provides comprehensive audit documentation—our tax specialists help you understand audit requests and prepare response packages.

How does Galvix automate NetSuite sales tax?

Galvix has an out-of-the-box integration with NetSuite—no developer required. During onboarding, our team helps you set up the integration in 30-60 minutes. We sync transaction data and automatically update accurate tax calculations in every NetSuite invoice and credit memo. Full setup including tax code mapping, nexus configuration, and historical data sync takes 2-7 business days. Works with both SuiteTax and Legacy Tax.

Does Galvix provide real-time tax calculation for NetSuite?

Yes. Galvix automatically updates correct tax calculations in every NetSuite invoice and credit memo, replacing NetSuite's inaccurate native tax engine. This eliminates accuracy issues with local jurisdictions and complex tax scenarios. We also handle everything NetSuite doesn't: nexus tracking with alerts, expert-prepared returns, state registrations, exemptions, and audit documentation support.

Can I use Galvix if I sell through NetSuite and other channels?

Yes—this is where Galvix really helps. We consolidate data from all your sales channels for accurate multi-channel nexus tracking and returns filing. NetSuite only tracks NetSuite transactions, creating blind spots for businesses selling across multiple platforms. Galvix gives you complete visibility, ensuring you never miss a nexus threshold.

Does Galvix work with both SuiteTax and Legacy Tax?

Yes. Galvix integrates with NetSuite regardless of whether you're using SuiteTax or Legacy Tax. Many companies stay on Legacy Tax because the SuiteTax migration is complex and non-reversible. Since Galvix handles accurate calculations, nexus tracking, returns filing, registrations, and exemptions—capabilities neither NetSuite tax engine provides—you can use Galvix with either setup.

NetSuite vs Galvix: Which should I use?

Use NetSuite native tax if you only invoice through NetSuite, operate in a single state, can tolerate inaccurate calculations, and are willing to file returns manually. Use Galvix if you need accurate tax calculations, sell through multiple channels, want nexus alerts, need expert-prepared returns, require state registration help, or want audit support. Most businesses use NetSuite for ERP and accounting, Galvix for sales tax compliance.

Is Galvix cheaper than Avalara for NetSuite users?

Yes. Avalara costs $600-1,200+ per month with mandatory setup fees and often hidden costs for managed returns or exemption certificates. Galvix has no platform fees, no subscriptions, no setup fees—just $75 per return filed. Example: Filing in 8 states monthly = $600/month with Galvix vs. $600-1,200/month with Avalara, plus their registration fees and managed service upcharges.

Can Galvix replace NetSuite's tax features entirely?

Yes, for sales tax purposes. Galvix provides accurate real-time tax determination, nexus tracking with alerts across all channels, expert-prepared returns, state registrations, enhanced exemption management, and audit documentation support. NetSuite doesn't offer most of these features. We recommend using NetSuite for ERP and accounting, Galvix for sales tax compliance. Works with both SuiteTax and Legacy Tax.

Why NetSuite Needs External Tax Management

While NetSuite is a powerful platform, its native sales tax features fall short of what growing businesses need.

⚠️

Inaccurate Sales Tax Calculations

Legacy Tax requires manual rate management for every jurisdiction. SuiteTax provides automated rates, but users frequently report inaccuracies that lead to incorrect tax amounts on invoices and credit memos—especially for local jurisdictions.

🔔

No Nexus Tracking or Threshold Alerts

NetSuite can't track when you're approaching nexus thresholds in new states. You're responsible for monitoring manually across all your sales channels using saved searches or spreadsheets. No alerts, no automation.

📋

No Filing Automation

NetSuite doesn't file sales tax returns. You manually log into each state portal to file monthly or quarterly. No automation, no expert review.

🔄

Complex SuiteTax Migration

SuiteTax implementation is non-reversible and requires extensive setup. Incorrect configuration forces you to start over. Many businesses stay on Legacy Tax because the migration is too complex.

🏛️

Manual State Registrations

When you establish nexus, NetSuite offers no help with registration. You navigate each state's portal yourself, complete forms, and wait weeks for permits. States with local requirements add even more complexity.

📜

Limited Exemption Certificate Management

NetSuite lets you store exemption certificates, but lacks automated expiration tracking, customer self-service portals, or comprehensive validation workflows.
