Lippert Components (LCI) Uses Add-on Solution for Fully Automated End-to-End Sales Tax Calculation and Compliance
PUBLISHED BY: Avalara
Lippert Components, Inc. (LCI) is a steel fabrication company serving manufactured home and RV industries since 1956 producing mobile home chassis and parts, galvanized steel roofing and fifth wheel travel trailer chassis.
As a result of having multi-state nexus (a physical business presence such as a store or distribution center in a state), LCI is required to calculate, collect, report, and remit local, county, township and state taxes in 9 states. However, LCI did not have a simple solution to calculate – or even confirm – these varying tax rates. With more than 8,000 transactions per year, LCI was challenged with manual data entry and sustaining accurate sales tax calculations.
