Module · Sales Tax & Licensing (STS)

Collect. Renew. Analyze.

ADG Vantage Sales Tax & Business Licensing is one module covering both revenue streams: sales and use tax collection, plus business and occupational license issuance and renewals. Filers register, file, renew, and pay through CitizenLink, and receipts flow into your STS receivables with fund-distributed posting to the GL.

What's inside STS

Two revenue programs. One filer record.

Most businesses your jurisdiction interacts with file both sales tax and a business or occupational license. Vantage keeps everything tied to a single vendor record so your collections team has a complete picture of every account.

Sales & use tax

Returns processing, period management, accommodation taxes (lodging), use tax, exempt categories, missing-filer identification, automated correspondence on errors.

Business & occupational licensing

License issuance, renewals, fee calculations (flat or value-based), license printing, renewal billings, expired-license letters, category-specific requirements.

Jurisdictions call the licensing side different things: business license, occupational license, or business tax receipt. Vantage runs all of them on the same engine. Define your license categories, fee schedules, and renewal cycles per type, then issue, renew, bill, and collect against each one from the same filer record.
