Xero
Xero sales tax in the US takes more than a rate on an invoice. Zamp calculates tax on every Xero invoice, then tracks nexus, registers, files and pays in each state for you.

The short answer
Partly. Xero can calculate US sales tax on invoices in the states where you're registered, but it doesn't file returns. Zamp calculates on your Xero invoices, tracks nexus in every state, and files and pays for you.
Keep invoicing in Xero. Zamp sets the tax on each invoice and carries it all the way to the state.
Zamp calculates rooftop-accurate tax on invoices, repeating invoices and credit notes from the delivery address and what you sell. Product tax codes and exempt customers are set once, and every invoice after that follows them. There are no rate tables to build or update.

Partly. Xero's auto sales tax, powered by Avalara, calculates rates on invoices for the states where you're registered, and Xero reports what you owe2, 3. Xero doesn't file sales tax returns directly1, so nexus, registration, filing, payment and notices stay with you unless you add a service like Zamp.
Yes. Zamp takes over the calculation on your Xero invoices, so auto sales tax is turned off when you connect Zamp. Your specialist walks you through the switch, which can need a hand from Xero.
Yes, when your US sales run through a US-based Xero organization, as they do for many international companies with a US entity. Zamp then tracks nexus, registers, files and pays in each state. Xero organizations based outside the US and Canada can't connect directly today, but their sales can still reach Zamp by file upload or API.
Your Zamp team maps each product to a Zamp tax code and tags exempt customers, such as resellers and nonprofits, once. Every invoice after that uses those settings. Items without a code are treated as fully taxable until they're mapped.
Yes. If another platform posts orders into Xero, you choose by customer whether Zamp calculates and files, files as charged, or skips them, so each sale is counted once. Channels Zamp connects to directly, such as Shopify or Amazon, can sync to Zamp on their own.
One price based on your monthly order volume and the number of states you file in. Registrations are included, and Zamp counts transactions, not API calls.
Most teams switch at the end of a filing period. We move your existing registrations, filing calendar and Xero history over, your current provider files its last period and Zamp files the next, so no return is missed or filed twice. If you're mid-contract, ask about the Zamp buyout.
Yes. A specialist reviews where you sell and where you may already owe. Then we agree a path with you, from filing past-due returns to a voluntary disclosure or registering going forward, and our team does the filing.
