Outsourcing returns enables Air Liquide tax department to work smarter, not harder
Air Liquide, a manufacturer of industrial gases, faced a significant increase in sales and use tax compliance work after reorganizing into eight operating units, growing from 1,200 to 5,000 returns annually. After struggling with staff turnover and managing compliance in-house, the company outsourced tax compliance to Vertex. This reduced their workload from two weeks to two days, allowed for more strategic focus, and reduced notices from 50 to 10 per month. Vertex provided end-to-end services, including return filing, payments, and notices, while offering 24/7 visibility and streamlined audit preparation. This outsourcing allowed Air Liquide to work more efficiently and proactively.
