Kintsugi is an AI-powered platform designed to streamline sales tax, VAT, and GST compliance across over 100 countries. It helps businesses, particularly in SaaS and e-commerce, manage their tax obligations from exposure monitoring to filing and remittance. The platform leverages AI for precise product classification, ensuring each item in a mixed cart is taxed correctly according to state or country-specific rules. It also performs accurate address validation, resolving rates down to local districts to prevent over or under-collection.
A core feature is its automated exposure monitoring, which tracks economic thresholds across all US states and numerous international jurisdictions, alerting users before potential back-taxes accrue. Kintsugi facilitates new jurisdiction registrations, manages exemption certificates, and handles back filing, Voluntary Disclosure Agreements (VDAs), and overpayment recovery. Users can connect their billing, payment, HR, and ERP systems for seamless data synchronization. The platform also includes "Kin," an AI assistant that can summarize filings, explain tax rates, or pull transaction data, grounded in the user's specific financial information and Kintsugi's tax knowledge base. This comprehensive approach aims to reduce compliance costs and ensure audit readiness.
