Why TaxCloud?
Save thousands with SST participation
TaxCloud is one of only seven Certified Service Providers in the Streamlined Sales Tax program, a national initiative designed to simplify sales tax compliance. Yonda Tax does not participate in this program, meaning that users on the platform miss out on the valuable benefits and savings that SST provides.
With TaxCloud, qualifying businesses will enjoy free calculation and filing in all 24 member states. This can reduce your annual compliance costs by thousands of dollars, greatly lowering overhead for multi-state sellers and e-commerce brands. If you’re new to SST (read more about it here), TaxCloud can handle enrollment, compliance, and filing on your behalf, so you can maximize savings while staying compliant.
Flexible integrations and API tools
TaxCloud is built to fit into your tech stack and match the footprint of your business. We offer direct integrations with popular platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, QuickBooks, and others. For more complex solutions, CSV data imports and API integrations offer additional ways to move and import data.
Combined with pay-as-you-go, flexible pricing, businesses both large and small can take advantage of TaxCloud turnkey integrations at a scale that makes sense for the brand. As companies continue to grow, TaxCloud provides more ways to connect and stay compliant across multiple platforms and marketplaces.
Built-in exemption certificate management
Handing customer exemptions shouldn’t require a separate tool or third-party add-on. For companies working closely with nonprofits, wholesalers, and other exempt entities, TaxCloud makes handling exemptions easy to manage with minimal hassle.
With TaxCloud, exemption certificate management is automatically built into the platform, and is available for every plan.
Teams can collect certificates through customer upload or via manual processing, validate the documentation, and store all certificates in one place for easy access. TaxCloud will generate a “Certificate ID,” which needs to be added to a customer profile on certain platforms, ensuring that sales tax is voided for those customers at checkout.
Expert audit support
Sales tax audits can be stressful, but TaxCloud offers audit support to expedite the process.
In the event of an audit, our support team can help you collect all relevant documents and data required for a quick and accurate response. With audit support, our team provides up to eight hours of direct assistance for report reconciliation and necessary audit materials. For companies in the SST program, TaxCloud will even manage all SST state audits, except in states where the company has physical nexus obligations.
By contrast, Yonda Tax offers no audit support or built-in assistance, meaning that brands are often left to handle audits themselves. With TaxCloud, you’re backed by real tax compliance experts who can provide extra hands for report prep and response to offset auditor demands.
What you get with TaxCloud
Transparent, scalable pricing solutions
TaxCloud offers predictable, transparent pricing that scales with your needs. Plans are structured based on order volume, feature access, and filing frequency.
Unlike Yonda Tax, which conceals all pricing options and offers custom options, TaxCloud pricing is available directly on our pricing page. This allows brands to estimate costs without any hidden fees or back office adjustments and without participating in mandatory sales calls just to understand the nuances of the platform.
Teams joining with TaxCloud will have access to real-time integrations, various reporting options, optional audit support, and several compliance tools. Keep in mind that, while sales tax filing is charged separately, businesses operating in SST states can file with TaxCloud at no charge.
Consolidated reporting for all marketplaces
TaxCloud simplifies reporting by consolidating sales data across all channels into a single, unified dashboard. Regardless of the digital marketplaces used to transact sales and orders, TaxCloud can pull from jurisdiction-level details to show where, when, and how much tax is owed.
With TaxCloud, teams will have access to transaction-level reports, state nexus summaries, and data that aligns with filing requirements across all 50 states. These reports are also exportable in multiple formats, making it easy to review the details or upload that transaction data into other systems.
When combined with robust integration options and easy data handling, TaxCloud makes it easy to take ownership of your data and use it in a way that is most effective for your brand.
Easy onboarding and white glove support
Sales tax compliance is notoriously difficult, especially because most businesses are busy doing other things. TaxCloud eases that burden with access to U.S.-based support specialists, documentation, and experts who can help with setup, data migration, and platform configuration.
For businesses switching from another provider, the onboarding team can walk through platform mapping, assist with integration setup, and help with data syncing to reduce overall time to compliance.
Past onboarding, support continues post-launch with access to phone, email, and chat. Most of the time, we’ll reply in less than a day. That’s a major change if you’re coming from some of the bigger tax brands, where support is constantly out of reach and replies are scarce.
FAQ
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to know because Yonda Tax doesn’t disclose any pricing information in a public setting, including on their website.
By contrast, TaxCloud provides transparent pricing without any required sales calls or mandatory demos. You can even try TaxCloud free for 30 days with no strings attached!
With Yonda Tax, you’ll need to book a call to get any meaningful pricing information, and the details you provide will be used to offer bespoke pricing for your specific situation. However, there isn’t a way to compare those pricing details with solutions offered to other Yonda Tax users, making it difficult to know if pricing is competitive or conditional.
Enrollment with the SST program is included as part of the onboarding process for TaxCloud users on the Premium plan.
The application process is relatively simple, and our team will work with you to gather and submit all necessary information.
Once your business is approved for the program, TaxCloud will become your Certified Service Provider and will handle all calculations, filings, and reporting for SST-eligible states at no additional cost. Keep in mind that the business won’t be eligible in states where you have physical nexus.
Yes! TaxCloud can file sales tax returns in all 50 U.S. states, including states outside of the SST program.
For businesses with nexus in multiple jurisdictions, this means full national coverage from a single platform. Filings are priced separately at a flat rate, and businesses can select either single-state or nationwide filing options, depending on the size and scale of the operation.
By comparison, Yonda Tax also offers automated filing support but lacks SST participation and audit support.
This depends on how you file with TaxCloud. Our experts will assist with gathering documentation, reconciling reports, and organizing response materials
For eligible SST states, audit support is fully included, and TaxCloud manages the entire process as your Certified Service Provider. Note that, for states where you have a physical presence, you will be the primary contact with TaxCloud offering direct support.
For non-SST states, TaxCloud provides up to eight hours of dedicated audit support to help your team respond to sales tax inquiries from state agencies. This service is designed to ease the administrative burden required to gather and submit essential tax documentation.
Most businesses can onboard with TaxCloud in as little as one to two weeks, depending on internal system complexity.
Generally, the process includes integration setup, tax settings configuration, a review of your filing obligations, and an official cutover from any previous provider to TaxCloud systems.
Our onboarding team provides hands-on support during this process and will be in close contact with your team during the transition. That way, you’ll always stay in the loop and will know when it’s time to go live.
