Simplify food and beverage sales tax management

The right sales tax rate for every item you sell

Sales tax for food and beverages varies widely. In New York, an uncut bagel is exempt from sales tax, but a bagel sandwich is charged sales tax. Some cities will charge higher rates for soda or alcohol than other drinks. No need to wrap your mind around it all — TaxJar removes the guesswork by automating the process for you.

• Simplified product classification: The TaxJar API helps you assign a product tax code to all of your food and beverage products to support accurate tax calculations.

• Continuous tax law monitoring: Our in-house team of sales tax experts are constantly reviewing the ever-changing tax codes that impact food and beverage companies.
