Numeral Sales Tax
All reviews
Do not let them set up your state sales tax information and please file this manually yourself. Once you leave, they have your login information and never email you back. It's been 3 weeks of me emailing their support with no reply.
At this point it looks like emails and tickets have gone unanswered from the Numeral team. I have tax authorities contacting me indicating I'm non-compliant. And nobody from the Numeral team gets back to me despite emails and an open ticket. There is also no phone number to speak to an actual human.
I really did my best to give them the benefit of the doubt. I am currenly TWELVE MONTHS into a support case that their team can't resolve. And mind you, the CEO is on the thread and fully aware of this. Numeral incorrectly filed my state taxes and can not figure out how to fix it. I would say it is not worth the headache. I hate giving negative reviews, but I gave them countless chances to correct their mistakes to this point. I am being told that I am getting premium support and full escalation, but the quality of this support is well below any standard.
As many others have mentioned in their reviews, customer support can take weeks to respond. They won't own to their mistakes and you'll end up having to fix them yourself most likely. The service may seem fine when everything is working, but if you run into an issue, getting help is extremely difficult. That’s when the experience becomes frustrating and disappointing.
Consumer beware. They come across great, helpful and responsive. Then once they get you onboarded, the communication stops, you see them in and out of your accounts at all hours of the day and night and nothing is getting done. They switched existing annual filings to MONTHLY saying that they "had" to do things that way but never told me up front so then they collect $75 PER FILING PER MONTH in like five states in which I do business. ZERO dollar filings I know they won't publish this but do your homework and ask the questions up front. The amount of manual work I have had to do to get them disconnected from my accounts has been awful
Waited forever and they never finished the nexus setup. No communication or customer service.
One of the worst apps and without a doubt the worst customer service I have ever experienced. You are sold on an easy filing and essentially hands off experience. Reality is the product doesn't even work and the numbers it generates are incorrect. We were told the discrepancies are due to "rounding differences" which is a crazy response for tax that needs to be reported. It missed our filings, said it would cover any penalties, and has since ghosted us in responding. Unbelievable, this company should be sued for fraud and held liable for their negligence.
Horrendous customer support. I had a time-sensitive filing issue and went nearly a month without a clear answer or resolution. I followed up 5 times and went two full weeks with zero responses on the ticket. Still not resolved. For something as critical as sales tax, this is unacceptable.
I would give zero stars if I could. They filed late, filed the incorrect amount, took zero accountability, and then disappeared. Read this whole review if you're considering them - they are huge scam and operate completely out of integrity. I was so excited for this service, because filing sales tax is such a massive pain to deal with as a business owner. But they didn't file my taxes on time, and when they finally did file, it was over a month late and the penalties and interests had piled up. They didn't bother to check what actual amount was due, and instead filed the inaccurate amount from the month before, leaving me with even more penalties and interest. Christian said he would ask his manager about getting the penalties refunded, and then ghosted me. To date I have not heard a proper response from them, a refund for the penalties, or any follow up at all. It's impossible to get support in a timely manner, and when they do respond, it's to give a runaround answer and then never follow through. I am now in the process of deregistering Numeral from my tax account with the state of CA which is also a huge pain. I'm a business owner, and totally understand that things go wrong sometimes! We are all human and make mistakes. I had so much grace for the constant problems, but at this point it's just not good business to stay with this company. They don't care about your experience as a customer, or about the legal ramifications of making a mistake with your taxes. Find a different app and save yourself the headache! Updating my review to include new info: 1. I removed them from our shopify account completely, but when I went to file my Q1 taxes this year, they had ALREADY FILED IT without my permission! They should not even even had access to my account at that point. I've removed them in all ways that I am able, and they are still accessing my information somehow. 2. I commented on their social media, and commented in support of other users who had the same horrific experience that I did, and they deleted all of the comments. They could have easily just responded publicly, but instead they chose to hide our bad experiences and silence anyone who shares how bad their service is. AVOID at all costs.
I tried for two months to setup this app. We had numerous prone conversations. I gave them full admin rights on the store. To no avail. It does not work. I am late with filling the sales tax and I will have to pay penalties. Thanks to Numeral.
Numeral is a scam. I signed up in August to find out in January of this year that they had not filed my taxes even for the state I reside in for over 4 months. They will bill you large amounts to "file," but when my CPA looked into it when reconciling EOY it turns out that they had not filed anything for months. They also could not provide me with any reporting log of what they did with account confirmations. Honestly, Numeral should not be allowed to be an app on the Shopify app store at this point.
STAY AWAY!!!! Numeral is the most irresponsible and misleading service I have ever paid for. I paid for twelve months believing my registrations were handled and my tax liabilities were being managed. That is the entire reason you hire a company like this. Instead I was left exposed. Key registrations were not completed, my compliance status was not what I was led to believe, and I received no clear notification that anything was incomplete. No proactive outreach. No urgent warning. No accountability. Just silence while the subscription kept billing. This is not a minor inconvenience. This is the kind of failure that can create real penalties and real risk for a business. If your business depends on staying compliant, you cannot afford a vendor that takes your money and then leaves you to discover gaps on your own. Numeral did not deliver the core service I paid for, and the lack of communication makes it worse. I asked for escalation and a refund because I should not be paying for months of coverage that did not actually exist. Avoid this company unless you want to babysit your compliance and double check everything yourself.
Zero communication. Signed up, paid, no communication for a month until I reached out. They finally got us registered, at least that's what it says on their site. It's hard to tell, though, because no one has reached out. Sales tax collection hasn't been enabled, and there doesn't seem to be a way get our sales tax ID in their portal. Great in concept, but terrible in execution.
