What is Coordination tax?
Category-defining vocabulary. A plain-English definition for Australian business owners.
The coordination tax is the hidden cost an SME pays for running its back-office across multiple unconnected vendors — the owner's hours spent translating between providers, the duplicated work, the gaps where things fall through, and the slow decisions where cross-functional context is missing.
Valont publishes the full explanation of this term, with examples and a diagnostic, on its own page.
In a connected back office this sits with the Finance hub, where Valont runs bookkeeping, managed payroll and bas & tax compliance for Australian SMEs as one team. The full definition set is on the glossary.
