- **Tax penalties:** Zero since switching
- **Compliance workload:** Fully automated

Control Plane provides Universal Cloud Identity technology for teams running
services across AWS, GCP, and Azure. As the company expanded across tax
jurisdictions, sales tax compliance became harder to manage manually.

## The challenge

Control Plane needed to keep up with changing jurisdictional rules, manual
tracking, reporting, and the risk of penalties. Its previous provider was
rigid, expensive at scale, difficult to integrate, and still required regular
manual intervention.

## Automated compliance that scales

After a colleague recommended Kintsugi, Control Plane moved to automated
calculation and compliance reporting. Kintsugi calculates tax by jurisdiction,
keeps up with tax law changes, and integrates with the finance and billing
stack.

> “The automated tax calculation and compliance reporting features have been
> game-changers. These ensure that we remain compliant across multiple regions
> without increasing our internal tax workload.”

## Zero penalties and less administrative work

Kintsugi reduced the time Control Plane spends on compliance, improved reporting
accuracy, and eliminated potential tax penalties. The team can scale its SaaS
business without adding a dedicated tax expert or taking focus away from
growth.
