Tax decisions, checked before they are filed or paid.
AI is starting to classify workers, calculate payroll deductions and apply tax rules. QWED Tax checks those decisions against specific rules for the United States and India, so a wrong classification or a misplaced decimal stops at the gate.

Good to know
- QWED Tax is not a calculator, a filing platform or a payroll system. It checks decisions that an AI or another system has made.
- It covers specific rules for the United States and India, not every tax regime. It does not file returns.
