If you use NetSuite Legacy Tax, you know the manual work involved. You’re maintaining tax codes and rate tables by hand, and keeping track of how each product is taxed as the rules shift from state to state.

And that’s only the calculation piece. Registering in new states, filing returns, and remitting what you collect is a separate job, one NetSuite isn’t built to handle for you.

That’s where TaxCloud comes in. Our SuiteApp brings real-time tax calculation into your NetSuite Legacy Tax setup, and TaxCloud handles all the sales tax work that follows, from nexus tracking to filing and remittance.

Sales tax gets harder to manage as you grow

Sales tax can become urgent fast, and new obligations often take businesses by surprise. One large order can push you over a nexus threshold in a new state, and physical presence, like a warehouse or remote employee, can create obligations of its own. Meanwhile, product taxability varies state by state and changes often.

As you grow, it gets more and more complex and time-consuming to keep track of registration, filing deadlines, returns, and remittance across states. And once you’re registered in a state, you owe a return every period, no matter how much you sold there. A sales tax compliance partner like TaxCloud takes that work off your team’s plate, so managing sales tax doesn’t slow you down.

How TaxCloud works with NetSuite Legacy Tax

TaxCloud’s NetSuite Legacy Tax SuiteApp brings sales tax automation directly into NetSuite without moving to SuiteTax. It calculates tax in real time on sales orders, invoices, and cash sales, plus the credits and refunds that follow. TaxCloud handles the rest, from nexus tracking to filing and remittance, so your compliance is covered.

Here’s how it works:

  • Real-time calculation right inside NetSuite. The SuiteApp calculates the right rate on every sales order, invoice, and cash sale, and applies each product’s taxability based on its TIC, with no rate tables to maintain.
  • Complete economic nexus tracking. TaxCloud tracks your sales by state across NetSuite and other channels you connect, and alerts you as you approach and cross thresholds, so a new obligation is never a surprise.
  • Automated filing and remittance. TaxCloud can handle registration in new states when you cross a threshold, then files and remits wherever you’re registered.
  • Exemptions handled for you. Keep exemption certificates on your customers in NetSuite, where your team already works. The SuiteApp matches each order’s ship-to state against the customer’s certificates and tells TaxCloud when a sale is exempt, so nonprofits and resellers aren’t charged tax they don’t owe.
  • Savings as you grow. As a Certified Service Provider in the Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) program, TaxCloud registers and files eligible sellers for free in up to 24 states.
  • Real human support when you need it. When questions come up, know that you have direct access to a US-based support team so you don’t have to navigate it alone.
