From Anxiety to Certainty — International Payroll Tax Rules in One API

Introducing: Cadana’s Global Payroll Tax Engine 🚀

Cross-border payroll shouldn’t feel like playing regulatory roulette. But with over 20,000 international tax jurisdictions, 200,000+ payroll tax codes, and 8,000+ rule changes every year, global payroll compliance has become a moving target few companies are equipped to hit.

The Problem: Complexity That Scales Faster Than Teams Can

As companies expand globally, they run into a wall: payroll compliance doesn’t scale with copy-paste logic.

Most countries have multiple layers of tax authorities — national, regional, and local.
Many of these authorities enforce their own unique payroll tax codes, reporting schedules, and deductions.
Onboarding employees or contractors in each market requires country-specific tax and benefits forms.
And the rules change constantly: over 1,700 legislative payroll updates were recorded in just 40 countries last year.

Multiply that across 100+ countries and you get a compliance nightmare that can't be solved with spreadsheets or static knowledge bases.

The Current State: A Fragile Patchwork

Today’s HR platforms, payroll providers, and staffing firms typically stitch together:

Legal memos from regional law firms
Spreadsheets tracking deductions and thresholds
PDFs and Google Docs with onboarding steps
In-country partners to manually manage exceptions

This approach may work in a handful of countries. But once your business starts operating in multiple continents, it breaks. Fast.

Companies waste time reconciling fragmented workflows, responding to local law changes after the fact, and trying to standardize payroll logic without a single source of truth.

The Solution: Cadana’s Global Payroll Tax Engine

Cadana has built a modern infrastructure layer for global payroll tax compliance.

Our AI-powered Global Payroll Tax Engine is the first API-first solution designed to help platforms automate and stay compliant with payroll rules across 100+ countries.

Key Features

Unified Gross-to-Net API: Calculate compliant payroll across 35+ countries and counting
Webhook-Based Tax Updates: Get real-time alerts when laws, deductions, or thresholds change
Embedded Onboarding Forms: Automatically surface local onboarding documents (e.g., IMSS, NHF, W-4) that match the jurisdiction
No Funds Flow: Use the engine without requiring a money movement license — it’s logic-only and safe to integrate

Who This Is For

Our Global Payroll Tax Engine is built for:

U.S. Payroll Platforms and PEOs expanding into international markets
Staffing Firms and Employer of Record (EOR) Providers managing misclassification and tax risk
Global HR or Payroll SaaS consolidating scattered tax logic into one reliable source
Startups that want to launch compliant payroll in weeks, not years

We’re already working with a top-tier U.S. PEO and multiple global HR platforms to automate their compliance stack.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just about clean code or faster integrations. It’s about giving platforms peace of mind that their payroll is:

Compliant, even as laws change
Scalable, across new markets
Transparent, with traceable calculations
Developer-friendly, with no legal guesswork

In short: you no longer have to choose between global growth and compliance confidence.
