AkuCalc

What AkuCalc is

AkuCalc is a sales tax calculation service from Clarus Tax Technologies for ERP, ecommerce, billing, and other business workflows. Available through an API, it calculates tax using the transaction address and covers US tax jurisdictions, including more than 13,000 jurisdictions, as well as Canada. Rates and rules update automatically as regulations change. Businesses can configure taxability by product, jurisdiction, and transaction type; complex or research-intensive mappings are scoped separately. If a valid exemption certificate is on file in AkuCert, AkuCalc applies the exemption during calculation. Featured integrations include Microsoft Dynamics 365, Business Central, F&O, Dynamics GP, Acumatica, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, and NetSuite. Its API can also connect custom ERP, ecommerce, billing, or other business systems. AkuCalc provides transaction data for reporting, reconciliation, return preparation, and audit workflows, and supports tax return filing and exemption certificates. Clarus describes implementation as a guided rollout covering configuration, integration setup, testing, and training; timing depends on systems, data complexity, and integration needs. The company was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Pricing is available by custom quote and varies with business structure, transaction volume, and integration needs.
