How It Works

If you are accurately keeping your invoicing database system, our on-boarding team will help you find the best way to get your data from your system to our cloud engine. There are several ways depending on your invoicing system (ERP) and your transactions volume. TobTax Compliance accepts data files through portal upload, SFTP, or secure web services.

Once your data is received by TobTax engine, processing starts immediately. First the TobTax Compliance system validates the data, curates it, and then produces and submits accurate reports to your filing jurisdictions.
