What AkuCalc is
AkuCalc is a sales-tax calculation product from Clarus Tax Technologies for ERP, ecommerce, and billing workflows. It uses transaction addresses for rooftop-accurate calculations and covers US tax jurisdictions, including more than 13,000 jurisdictions, as well as Canada. Rates and rules update automatically as regulations change. Businesses can configure taxability by product, jurisdiction, and transaction type; complex or research-intensive mappings are scoped separately. If a valid exemption certificate is stored in AkuCert, AkuCalc applies the exemption during calculation. Its integrations include Microsoft Dynamics 365, Business Central, Dynamics GP, Acumatica, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, and NetSuite, while its API can connect custom business systems. AkuCalc provides transaction data for reporting, reconciliation, return preparation, and audit workflows; tax return filing and exemption certificates are supported. Clarus describes implementation as a guided rollout covering configuration, integration setup, testing, and training, with timing dependent on systems, data complexity, and integration requirements. The product is available through an API. Clarus was founded in 2018 and is based in Columbus, Ohio. Pricing is by custom quote and varies according to business structure, transaction volume, and integration needs.
