DAVO Sales Tax automates sales-tax collection, filing, and payment from a connected point-of-sale system. Each day it moves the exact tax collected into a separate holding account, then files state returns and pays the amount due. Listed integrations include Clover, Square, Toast, Lightspeed, SkyTab, SpotOn, TouchBistro, Revel, Payanywhere, QuickBooks, and other POS systems. Users receive daily sales and tax report emails and can view sales information, tax details, and payment confirmations online. Reports, returns, and historical data have unlimited storage. The web service provides live setup help, continuing chat and technical support, and scheduled onboarding calls. DAVO says setup takes about five minutes after connecting a POS and entering business, tax, and bank information. It is designed for small brick-and-mortar businesses such as restaurants, salons, spas, and retail shops. The first monthly filing is free through the activation month; a paid subscription begins automatically the following month unless canceled. No plan price is listed, and there is no free plan.
