Challenge: Monitoring sales tax rates across multiple regions and states

Toyseepk has to deal with different sales tax regulations in Pakistan because sales tax services are levied by the Provinces, Islamabad Capital Territory, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir within their jurisdictions. The rates vary and may range from 15% to 16%. When they expanded their global footprint by bringing their business operations to the United States, their sales tax compliance problems double.

As a result, they spent more time monitoring their sales tax compliance to avoid hefty penalties and charges. However, the hours spent on managing their sales tax do not generate revenue, so it's a loss for the company.

In 2023, a new sales tax law in Pakistan added another layer of difficulty, compounding the administrative burden of managing taxes across different jurisdictions. The Federal Government of Pakistan increased the general sales tax rate to 18%.

Manual processes were not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, which risked penalties and audits. It became clear that a reliable, automated solution was necessary to sustain their growth trajectory and allow the team to focus on core business operations like product development and customer service.

Solution: Automating sales tax with Kintsugi

In search of a solution, Toyseepk turned to Kintsugi, a tax automation platform known for its powerful capabilities and seamless integration with e-commerce platforms like Shopify. Kintsugi’s system automated every aspect of sales tax compliance, from calculating accurate tax rates to filing returns and monitoring thresholds in real-time.

Kintsugi’s tools not only simplified compliance with Pakistan’s 18% VAT and varying provincial tax rates but also managed U.S. economic nexus obligations, ensuring compliance in multiple states. The platform’s intuitive interface made it easy to track liabilities and meet deadlines, significantly reducing administrative effort and the risk of errors.

Kintsugi’s automated tax calculations and filings allowed Toyseepk to save several hours of manual work every month. Their system not only reduced the administrative burden but also improved accuracy in managing their need for international tax compliance, ultimately enhancing their revenue management.
