Ryan Software, a division of Ryan, a
leading global tax services and software provider, announced it has
enhanced RatePoint®,
its proprietary, single-source tax solution for tax rate lookup and
monitoring needs, to incorporate a new group of tax rates, including
prepared foods and on-premise liquor consumption. RatePoint, Ryan’s
comprehensive, powerful, and easy-to-use sales and use tax rates
solution, tracks rates at all levels for the U.S., U.S. territories,
Canada, and major countries outside North America.
“Prepared foods and on-premise liquor consumption rates are highly
coveted data sets that few providers offer. We added these rates to the
general sales and use tax rates, and our other specialty verticals, to
better serve our clients and the market at large,” said President
of Ryan Software, Jayme Fishman.
RatePoint’s data are optionally paired with a geospatial module that can
take an address, convert it to latitude/longitude values, and return the
jurisdiction and associated rates. Alternatively, users can supply the
latitude/longitude values without the address to get the result.
“Pairing the most accurate jurisdiction system with industry-leading
content has made RatePoint the clear choice for many of our clients,”
added Fishman.
RatePoint data can be accessed via flat file, web-based user interface,
or Application Programming Interface (API), which facilitates
communication with other applications. The data include:
-
Rate record details for all the jurisdictional levels (i.e., state,
county, city, and special tax districts), including the tax
authorities for each rate component - Specialized fields to demonstrate max taxes, thresholds, etc.
- Historical rate data going back at least 10 years in every jurisdiction
RatePoint can be installed on site or hosted by Ryan and provides users
with a leading, turn-key solution for lookup and monitoring.
