DetailRoam

Sales tax

One rate for the customer. Every component for the state.

In destination-based states, the tax depends on where the job happens — and it's really several taxes stacked together. DetailRoam tracks each one so filing season is a report, not a spreadsheet project.

The problem

8.375% is not one tax

A St. Paul driveway job charges one combined rate, but the money belongs to four different line items on your return. Most software collapses them into a single number and leaves the untangling to you.

How DetailRoam handles it

Break it down once, tracked on every invoice

Set your components one time. From then on every invoice carries its own breakdown, and the report adds it all up per authority.

Rates built from components

Define each tax you remit — state, county, metro — and DetailRoam sums them into the one rate your customer sees at checkout.

A rate per county

Working across county lines? Save a named rate for each area you serve and switch any invoice to the right one in one tap.

The remittance report

Pick a filing period and read taxable sales and tax collected per component — the exact numbers each authority asks for.

CSV export

One row per invoice per component, ready for your spreadsheet or your accountant. No reconstruction at filing time.

Overrides where you need them

A default rate for the business, a special rate for one customer, or a one-off change right on the invoice at checkout.

Three-decimal precision

Rates like 6.875% are stored exactly, not rounded. Every invoice snapshots its breakdown, so later rate changes never rewrite history.

At filing time

Open the report, copy the numbers, done

Monthly or quarterly, the routine is the same: pick the period, read tax collected per component, export the CSV if your accountant wants the detail. Refunded and voided invoices are already excluded.

DetailRoam tracks the rates you enter — you stay the authority on which taxes apply to your services.
