Numeral
Numeral provides sales tax, VAT, and GST services through an API. Listed capabilities include sales-tax calculation, tax registration, and automated return filing. Its free Monitoring plan has no listed price and includes a nexus study, physical and economic nexus monitoring, threshold alerts, and exposure and historical-liability audits. Professional costs $75 a month; standard accounts run month-to-month and are billed as filings occur. That plan covers registrations, filings, remittance, autofile and autoregister, virtual-mailbox monitoring for tax mail, AI product classification, and exemption-certificate management. Professional registration costs $150 a month as a one-time registration fee per state and covers state registrations and support. Enterprise has no listed price and adds global coverage, a tax engine, API access, tax-lawyer consultations, and advanced reporting and analytics. Numeral was founded in 2022. The listed platform is API, so the available interface is intended for software integration rather than a separately described web application.
