Sales Tax Clearinghouse Releases Desktop Sales Tax Calculator Shareware Program

BOOTHWYN, PA - March 14, 2000 - Sales Tax Clearinghouse releases its new shareware program that offers its subscribers sales tax calculations from their desktop.  The shareware program connects over the Internet to one of STC's servers to acquire the most current and up-to-date rate information.  Based on a ZIP code that is entered by the subscriber, the program displays the appropriate state, county, and city tax rates along with tax amounts computed on a specified transaction amount.

Sales Tax Clearinghouse has a number of software solutions, ranging from a standalone shareware program to a programmed interface that easily integrates into a merchant's business system or even an Excel spreadsheet!

Sales Tax Clearinghouse offers a full range of sales tax compliance services, including licensing, filing, and remitting with over 6,200 tax authorities.  Merchants can subscribe to these services by integrating a small software module into their existing business systems that communicates with theSTC's secure servers to determine and calculate rates and post completed transactions.  STC transfers the collected taxes from the merchant's segregated account to those of the respective tax authorities along with the appropriate filing information.

Sales Tax Clearinghouse is located in Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia.  The company provides sales and use tax compliance software and services for all merchants, online or off.  For additional information on Sales Tax Clearinghouse or their services, visit their web site at http://theSTC.com or call (610) 459-5900.
