Reducing Tax Complexity with Constraints

Reducing Tax Complexity with Constraints

There are over 11,000 unique tax jurisdictions in the United States—if you’re a national employer, this shakes out to hundreds of different IDs to pay every federal, state and local tax.

At Zeal, we have built out Constraints to help make the process of managing taxes as simple as possible. For every tax ID you need for payroll, we’ve validated what each ID should look like, alongside any constraints regarding the length and character type. You won’t have to worry about validating the formats for these tax IDs—we handle this for you. Employers no longer need to worry about missing tax payments or incurring penalties due to simple errors with tax IDs, and can focus on what really matters.

Get in touch with us, and see how we can help simplify managing your payroll taxes!
