Overview
A jurisdiction's filing flow type determines who is responsible for filing your sales tax returns and remitting payment to each jurisdiction. Anrok supports three filing flow types:
- Easyfile — Anrok manages the entire filing and payment process on your behalf. Once the reporting period closes, you'll review and approve the return in Anrok. Anrok then files directly with the jurisdiction, ACH debits your checking account on file for the tax due amount, and remits payment to the respective jurisdiction.
- Easyfile seller pays — Anrok files the return on your behalf, but you submit the return payment directly to the jurisdiction. Once the reporting period closes, you'll review and approve the return in Anrok. Anrok files it with the jurisdiction, then you'll remit payment yourself. This option is primarily used for resident entities that are required to submit return payments from their own local bank accounts.
- Seller files — You are responsible for filing your sales tax return and remitting payment directly to each jurisdiction. Anrok tracks your filing obligations and prepares your return data. Once the reporting period closes, you'll review and remit the return yourself. Once remitted, you'll manually record the return filing in Anrok.
In Anrok, you can review the filing flow type for each jurisdiction. See Review your remitting jurisdictions.
Note
For VAT jurisdictions using Easyfile, Anrok handles additional steps for currency conversion before remitting. See VAT remittance process with Anrok. For global jurisdiction returns, these flow types may appear as Easyfile (FGC) or Easyfile (FGC) seller pays — "FGC" stands for full global compliance, and each works the same way as the corresponding option above. If you'd like to update a global jurisdiction's filing flow from Seller files to Easyfile, contact registrations@anrok.com for next steps.
