🇨🇦 Exciting News: Kintsugi Now Supports Canadian VAT and Sales Tax! 🇨🇦 After successfully automating U.S. sales tax compliance for over 1,100 businesses, we're thrilled to announce that Kintsugi is expanding its reach to Canada. This marks another significant milestone in our mission to automate tax compliance globally. Starting today, existing customers can enable Canadian VAT and sales tax support by contacting our support team. The feature will be publicly available to all by January 1, 2025. Canadian sales tax compliance is uniquely challenging, combining a federal GST with provincial taxes like PST, QST, and HST. It also incorporates VAT-like mechanisms such as Input Tax Credits (ITCs) and requires multi-currency support due to global transaction considerations.

😮💨 When you realize you owe back taxes but remember you established VDAs months ago... 📄✨ Voluntary Disclosure Agreements (VDAs)—the secret weapon e-commerce brands use to come clean before the state tax authorities come knocking. By proactively disclosing unpaid sales tax, businesses can: ✅ Reduce penalties and interest ✅ Limit the look-back period ✅ Avoid unexpected audits 💡 For e-commerce brands expanding into new states, VDAs can mean the difference between smooth growth and costly tax penalties. 👉 Learn how savvy e-commerce brands are using VDAs for sales tax compliance: https://lnkd.in/e779efPZ 🛒 E-commerce founders—have you leveraged a VDA?

When Kintsugi was just five people in one country, we made a promise: if we executed our plan and put in the work, we’d go to Japan. Fast forward to our Series A—we hit the milestone, scaled to 30 people in 6 countries, and kept our word. Herding 30 people from 6 countries to Japan? Absolute chaos. 🐱🐱🐱 But also? The most rewarding, unforgettable experience of our journey so far. From wandering Kyoto’s bamboo forests to late-night ramen in Shinjuku, from standing in the middle of Shibuya Crossing to deep conversations over sake—this trip wasn’t just about celebrating. It was about learning, reflecting, and strengthening our culture. Because Kintsugi isn’t just another startup. We’re here to shake up an industry that’s been stuck in the past. We’re here to do things differently. And that includes the way we invest in our people. We have a culture of Kaizen aka constant improvement and when we win, we reward the people who make the company amazing: its employees who have joined our mission. Most companies, when they hit a big milestone, hand out Patagonia vests. We booked 30 flights to Japan instead. 😏✈️ No vests. No generic “thank you” gifts. Just real, meaningful experiences. 🚀🌸 BTW, we have already started planning the next trip to prep as we hit our next milestone 🏯🗾🍜🍣 read more about our trip here: https://lnkd.in/g5_chx9F #Startups #Culture #Japan #Kintsugi #JustGettingStarted #BuildingPieceByPiece
