Acquiring, verifying and correcting sales tax exemption and resale certificates is tedious, error-prone and time-consuming. Yet the cost of a single missing, expired or incorrect certificate can cost a company thousands of dollars in assessed tax, penalties and interest resulting from a sales tax compliance audit. Without the certainty that your company is completely sales tax compliant, accruals for potential assessments must remain high and unnecessarily restrict your company's internal financial reserves.

CCH has partnered with Imaging Science and Services, Inc. (ISSI) to offer the Tax Exemption Administrative System (TEAMS), a state-of-the-art exemption certificate management solution that automates the capture, organization and management of sales tax exemption and resale certificates.

With TEAMS Express, your business will:

• Simplify administrative duties — Reduce time spent on exemption certificate management, or eliminate administrative work altogether with a completely outsourced solution.
• Streamline the sales process — Easily verify exemption status at the point of sale.
• Reduce errors — Quickly research tax exemption information, and reduce wasted time spent fixing errors. 
• Shorten time spent on audits — Eliminate delays in pulling tax exemption certificates.
• Minimize IT effort and infrastructure — Easily manage and securely deploy all tax exempt certificate images.
