When a connected system needs to calculate tax or generate a report, it requests the relevant tax rules from Alegra and receives details such as tax types, numeric rates, and the regions those rules apply to. Those details are then used immediately—on an invoice, in a checkout flow, or inside a finance dashboard—so calculations mirror what your accounting team expects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThis is not about manual exports or messy spreadsheets. Instead, the process keeps tax rules centralized: one team updates rates in Alegra, and all integrated systems reflect that change. The integration reduces mismatches between platforms, shortens the month-end close, and simplifies compliance because audit trails point back to a single authoritative configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe Power of AI \u0026amp; Agentic Automation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAdding AI agents to this workflow transforms a useful integration into an active assistant for tax compliance and operational scaling.
