## Applying AI to sales tax compliance

Sales tax calculation depends on precise rules that change constantly. Kintsugi
uses AI where it excels across the compliance workflow, while keeping critical
outputs under human review. The result is a workflow designed to be accurate
and easier for founders and controllers to manage.

## New integrations

Kintsugi added and enhanced integrations for Campfire, Checkout Champ,
DualEntry, Rillet, Sage Intacct, Shopline, and Wix. The goal is a seamless
connection between the systems businesses already use and the compliance work
that follows.

## Tax holidays

July is a good time to prepare for statewide back-to-school tax holidays.
Clothing, footwear, electronics, sports equipment, and other items may be
exempt, often subject to per-item limits. Kintsugi adjusts collection rates as
local and regional rules change.

## Platform updates

The new analytics experience gives Starter and Premium customers default reports
covering sales, transactions, and outstanding tax liability by jurisdiction.
Premium customers can also build custom analytics and visualizations for their
teams.

## Customer success: JMXi

JMXi is a global IT consulting firm based in Florida. As the company grew,
Kintsugi identified money owed back to JMXi and corrected overpayment errors
from its previous provider. The dashboard now gives the team a clearer way to
manage sales tax.

## Ask Kintsugi

Owning and operating a physical kiosk that solicits sales in New York is very
likely to create physical nexus, even if inventory is not stored there.

A newly formed entity with no employees or business activity can generally
operate without physical-presence nexus, though economic nexus may still apply
after crossing a state's sales or transaction threshold.

Sales tax compliance is complex, but it does not have to be complicated. Kintsugi
experts can help chart a path forward.
