Seamless integration provides customers with tax automation, compliance and reporting

Minneapolis, MN (August 26, 2010) -- International Decision Systems today announced that ProFinia is now seamlessly integrated with the leading global tax solution, Vertex Indirect Tax O Series. The integrated solution centralizes all corporate tax processing and data and supports tax compliance with unrivaled automation capabilities and extensive tax rule research.  This integration provides ProFinia customers with the ability to manage all tax events across the transaction lifecycle providing automation, compliance and reporting.

Tracking, reporting and accounting for sales/use/value-added taxes are difficult challenges for the equipment finance market since tax laws are continuously changing. ProFinia now relieves these burdens by seamlessly integrating with Vertex Indirect O Series at each tax trigger point in a transaction’s lifecycle.  Tax events include origination, activation, asset split, asset upgrade, assignment, charge reversal, manual charge creation, mid-term restructure, charge generation, buyout quote, agreement termination, asset disposition, and address entry.

“Ever-changing tax regulations put a large burden on the tax departments of equipment finance companies,” said IDS Director of Product Management Katie Emmel. “We are pleased to provide our ProFinia customers with an integration to the most comprehensive tax solution in the market to address these challenges.”

Vertex O Series now integrates with ProFinia to support audit defense and tax reporting by determining:

  • Where a transaction is taxed
  • How a transaction is taxed
  • What is taxed
  • How much tax is charged

Vertex O Series also includes the following leasing specific content:

  • Over 60,000 rules specific to leasing including international rules
  • Tax support including VAT and up-front taxes
  • Rates and rules updated monthly
  • Vehicle and equipment transactions
