Leading telecommunications tax and regulatory firms TaxConnex, The CommLaw Group and SureTax, announced a partnership. The move is aimed at offering superior tax and regulatory solutions to the telecommunications industry.

In a press release, the partnering companies explained that the collaboration will enable them to create a best of breed solution that would serve as the one-stop shop for the tax, regulatory and calculation needs of telecommunications and Voice over IP (“VoIP”) service providers.

The clients will get industry-leading solution for each discipline, and that is with the convenience of a single point of contact. According to managing partner at The CommLaw Group, Jonathan Marashlian, the solution is designed to provide, “...boutique firm expertise with small firm attention to deliver big firm results.”

To deliver the one stop solution, TaxConnex will contribute its tax consulting and tax compliance expertise, while The CommLaw Group and its affiliated consulting firm, The Commpliance Group will provide regulatory advice. SureTax is going to provide a software-as-a-service (SaaS (News - Alert)) calculation engine for the proper calculation of taxes and fees to be presented on customer invoices and aggregated for monthly reporting.

“Over the years, we have found that tax, regulatory and calculation services are three very distinct disciplines requiring three very different sets of expertise. While accessing all three services from one vendor may be appealing initially, the customer is often getting a watered down version of what they really need. This relationship delivers a superior solution to clients by providing best of breed talent for each unique discipline, but with the convenience of a single point of contact,” Brian Greer, TaxConnex Partner, said while describing the value in a one-stop solution.

“SureTax delivers the most robust, real-time and accurate tax calculations in the complex world of telecommunications. We understand the nuances of telecom and by using the robust content of CCH (News - Alert) we are able to address the specialty rules that apply to emerging areas such as VoIP, Wireless and Digital Goods. By teaming SureTax with TaxConnex and The CommLaw Group we have a robust offering that delivers insightful, expert solutions to telecommunications providers,” President of SureTax Mike Sanders added.
