Numeral

Numeral is a sales tax compliance platform that automates the entire lifecycle of US sales tax and global VAT for ecommerce and SaaS businesses. It continuously monitors sales across 80+ countries, automatically triggers registration when you hit a nexus threshold, calculates accurate rates via its Tax API, and handles filing and remittance with a penalty-backed on-time guarantee. The platform also provides exemption certificate management, virtual mailbox handling for state tax mail, and white-glove support. Key features include physical and economic nexus monitoring in 80+ countries, automatic registration when thresholds are exceeded (Autoregister), auto-filing and remittance (Autofile) with a guarantee that penalties and interest are covered if filings are late, a Tax API for real-time rate calculation, exemption certificate collection and verification, CSV import, and integrations with major platforms like Shopify, Stripe, and Amazon. The Pro tier adds API access, voluntary disclosure agreements, and global coverage. Pricing is straightforward: Monitoring is free. The Standard plan costs $75 per filing plus $150 per registration, with no long-term contract. Pro plans are custom-priced and include advanced features like exemption certificate management and dedicated expert support. This transparent per-event pricing contrasts with competitors like Avalara or TaxJar (now Stripe Tax), which often have tiered subscriptions that can be less predictable for growing businesses. Numeral positions itself as an end-to-end outsourced solution, reducing the manual work that many platforms leave to the customer. It's best for companies that want to offload tax compliance entirely, rather than just calculate rates. However, for micro-businesses with few nexus states, the per-filing cost may add up compared to a simpler, flat-rate alternative.
