BillSoft’s accuracy appreciated in the Sunshine State.
Overland Park, KS, March 1, 2010 — BillSoft, Inc., the market leader for transaction-based taxation, announced today that the State of Florida Department of Revenue has recertified BillSoft for accuracy with assigning addresses to local tax jurisdictions.
The recertification comes after an analysis by the State of Florida of BillSoft’s database and determined that it met the 95 percent requirement in assigning street addresses, address ranges, post office boxes and office box ranges to the proper local tax jurisdictions.
In reality, BillSoft achieved an over 98 percent rating.
This high level of accuracy comes from our EZGeo product that correctly identifies tax jurisdictions for communications services across the United States. EZGeo also provides address scrubbing to postal standards (CASS certified) and determines whether an address is in a special tax district or unincorporated area.
For communications and cable providers, this degree of accuracy has financial advantages. The recertification means whenever they use EZGeo in Florida, they’re eligible to receive a higher tax collection allowance (.75 percent versus .25 percent) and are granted the hold harmless provision of the Communication Services Tax (CST).
“This is great news for our customers who do business in Florida and for any communications provider relying on EZGeo,” said Vicki Klein, BillSoft President. “It’s also gives kudos to our IT department that’s committed to maintaining the product goal while improving the functionality and performance.”
