Unsupported regions
If a country is not listed in the Supported country codes section, it is not supported by AvaTax for Communications. See below for additional information about Argentina and Brazil:
- Argentina: AvaTax for Communications supports calculation of federal-level taxes in Argentina, but does not support calculation of province-level or other local taxes.
- Brazil: Tax calculation in Brazil is not supported, although it may appear in the drop-down list of countries for tax determination. Avalara does offer a separate engine for Brazilian tax calculation and compliance automation. Please contact your Customer Account Manager if you are interested in discussing this option.
