Exemption certificate management is the process of collecting, validating, and maintaining resale and exemption certificates from your customers. Without proper management, expired, missing, or invalid certificates can create unnecessary audit exposure and lead to penalties, interest, or tax assessments. By outsourcing this process to TaxConnex, you reduce risk, streamline compliance, and ensure your certificates are always audit-ready.
Yes. Every certificate is tracked and maintained with full documentation in our system, so you always have a clear, defensible record. If you are audited, you can quickly produce a complete audit trail to demonstrate compliance.
Certificates are centralized in our platform for easy access and version control. You and your team can quickly retrieve certificates by customer, jurisdiction, or date, and expired or missing certificates are flagged before they become an issue.
Exemption certificate management can be purchased on its own or combined with other offerings, including managed filing and remittance, sales tax calculation software and consulting services. Many businesses choose to bundle the services for a more complete approach to tax compliance.
Yes. Newly entered certificates are validated for accuracy and completeness, including proper formatting, expiration dates, and jurisdiction requirements. This helps prevent invalid or expired certificates from slipping through and ensures you remain protected during audits.
When a certificate is nearing expiration, our system flags it, so you have time to collect an updated version before it lapses. We can also initiate certificate acquisition campaigns for missing or expired certificates to assist in gathering updated certificates from your clients. This proactive approach ensures expired certificates do not result in unexpected audit risk or tax liability.
This service is focused on managing the exemption certificates you collect from your customers, not on applying for exemptions with state or local jurisdictions. While exemption certificate management does not include securing certificates for your own business, our broader managed compliance services can assist with that process if needed.
