Getting started with Municipal Tax — taxpayers and rate tables

Municipal Tax runs a jurisdiction's tax program end to end — a taxpayer registry, bill generation, and graduated delinquency dunning. It is an enterprise module for verified government organizations.

What it does, in one line:
Import who owes tax, generate their bills each period from a rate table, and collect payment directly to the jurisdiction — with no Turtini custody of the funds.

The taxpayer registry:
Businesses and individuals live in one registry, whether or not they have a Turtini account. Each taxpayer carries the identifiers you file against — name, address, and where known an EIN and email.

Importing a tax roll:
Bring an existing roll in bulk. As it imports, the identity graph soft-links each record by EIN or email, so a taxpayer who later joins Turtini connects to the account they already have rather than becoming a duplicate.

The rate table:
Rates live in a per-tax-type table — meals, lodging, sales, business, and any type you add. Adding a new tax is adding a row; you do not rebuild anything. Each row defines how that tax type is calculated for a billing period.

Next steps:
With taxpayers and rates in place, generate bills for a period and track balances (see "Generating bills and running dunning"). Everything is scoped to your jurisdiction and gated to verified government orgs.
