Numeral vs VATCalc Calculator

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.

VATCalc Calculator determines VAT and GST for domestic and cross-border transactions, either as transactions occur or in batches. It can connect to shopping carts, ERPs, ecommerce platforms, invoicing systems, and other applications through web access and an API. Calculations draw on codified national tax laws, including the EU VAT Directive, and can include legal references and suggested adjustments. Users can map goods and services themselves, use pre-mapped HS, TARIC, and CPA codes, or apply coding assumptions with VATScript. Customer-selected exchange-rate data can be incorporated.

The product supports REST API feeds, HTTP, FTP, and other exchange formats. Listed integrations include SAP S/4HANA and ECC, SAP Public Cloud, Oracle NetSuite, Oracle JD Edwards, Odoo, and Chargebee. Transactions can flow into VAT returns through the shared VAT Filer platform, and the calculator can also be incorporated into VATCalc’s e-invoicing service. VATCalc describes the service as built on Amazon Web Services to handle transaction volumes and daily peaks without latency planning. It states that it is ISO 27001 certified. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is available.
