Telecom tax is not sales tax, and getting it wrong is regulatory and financial risk. Pulse handles the full federal and state regulatory stack with jurisdiction-level accuracy, and an audit trail you can hand to a regulator.
Generic tax tools don't model USF, 911, 988, FET, or state communications taxes, and ZIP-level guessing sources the wrong jurisdiction. Florida alone has hundreds of local CST jurisdictions.
Purpose-built telecom tax via a specialized engine (CereTax), not generic sales tax.
Every service address is geocoded to a FIPS census tract/block via Smarty, so tax sources to the right jurisdiction instead of guessing by ZIP. That's what it takes to get places like Florida's hundreds of local CST jurisdictions right.
Correct customer classification drives automatic tax suppression where it applies.
Customer-, jurisdiction-, product-, and reseller-level exemptions, with expiry handling.
Bundles display as a single price, but tax derives from the real, itemized components underneath, the correct, defensible way to tax bundles.

Credits and reversals are issued as proper credit memos (reverse-and-reissue), never hand-computed negatives.
