[asterisk-biz] US Taxes & Billing software

[Jarrod Lash]

I know of 2 tax solutions.. One is CCH which is where you purchase a
database of tax tables and the other is BillSoft which is where you purchase
a software suite that has a tax database and processes your cdrs and
whatnot.

CCH is more expensive up front and just gives you the tax data.. It is up to
you to file with all the jurisdictions that you tax.. Billsoft is a service
with a monthly fee and is more of a I pay you to take care of the tax stuff
for me.

Google each company..

Also, I'd recommend you talk to a telecom attorney about all the intricate
legalities of voip taxation.
