Platform Capabilities

What the TrueTax system does.

Six core capability domains cover the full lifecycle of a government-controlled stamp or label - from initial issuance through to field enforcement.

Issuance Management

Controlled issuance of cryptographically signed stamps and labels. Government administrators define issuance quotas, approve operator requests, and maintain a complete audit trail of every stamp authorised and generated within the system.

Tracking & Serialization

Every issued item carries a unique serialized identity bound to the issuing authority. Movement through the supply chain - production, distribution, retail - is recorded as timestamped custody events against that serial identity.

Real-time Monitoring

Live dashboards surface scan activity, geographic distribution, and custody status across all registered operators and enforcement zones. Anomalies - double-scans, out-of-territory activity, sequence gaps - are flagged in real time.

Enforcement Intelligence

Pattern-based anomaly detection generates alerts structured for field escalation and case management. Seizure records, inspection logs, and violation events are linked to the central audit trail for evidentiary use in administrative and judicial proceedings.

Analytics & Reporting

Aggregated and unit-level reporting on issuance volumes, compliance rates, scan activity, and declared versus observed market distribution. Role-based dashboards for agency administrators, customs officers, and field enforcement teams. Exportable in CSV and PDF formats.

API & Integration

REST API with full OpenAPI specification for integration with existing customs management systems, national tax databases, and inter-agency data sharing frameworks. Supports EPCIS-compatible event streams for cross-border traceability exchange.

Supported Use Cases

One platform. Multiple government programs.

TrueTax is not limited to a single stamp type. The same system architecture serves multiple government-mandated programs - each with its own issuance rules, verification logic, and reporting requirements.

Tax Stamps

Digital tax stamps for excisable goods - tobacco, alcohol, fuel, and other regulated categories. Cryptographically signed, unit-serialized, and verifiable by any authorised officer without specialist hardware.

Excise Control Revenue Authority

Certification Labels

Government-issued certification marks for products subject to quality standards, import controls, or regulatory approval. Each label carries a verifiable authority signature and product-specific compliance record.

Standards Bodies Import Control

Consumer Protection

Public-facing verification for products where citizens need to confirm authenticity before purchase or consumption. Supports QR-based citizen scan, returning real-time compliance status directly to the consumer's device.

Public Verification Citizen Scan
Connected Ecosystem

TrueTax powers Authentific verification.

Every stamp or label issued through TrueTax is verifiable through the Authentific platform in real time. Government administrators manage issuance and enforcement through TrueTax. Operators, inspectors, and citizens verify through Authentific - the same underlying identity, two distinct interface layers.

  • Stamp records written once in TrueTax, readable everywhere via Authentific
  • Verification events from the public layer feed back into government enforcement dashboards
  • Single source of truth - no synchronisation lag between government and public-facing systems
  • View Live Verification

    System Architecture

    How data flows through TrueTax.

    A simplified view of the platform's data path - from external actors through the API gateway, core processing, and persistent storage.

    Cloud Deployment

    Hosted on major cloud providers with in-country data residency options. Auto-scaling compute. Managed database services with automated backups and failover.

    Hybrid Deployment

    Core platform hosted in government-approved cloud while sensitive key material and signing operations run in on-premise HSMs under authority control.

    On-premise / Air-gapped

    Full sovereign deployment within government data centres. Available for high-sensitivity environments where no external cloud dependency is permissible.

    Infrastructure & Deployment

    Built on proven open infrastructure.

    TrueTax is assembled on infrastructure components with established government and enterprise track records - avoiding proprietary lock-in while meeting sovereignty requirements.

    Database Layer

    Industry-standard scalable database infrastructure powers the primary registry store for stamp records, custody events, and audit logs. Supports horizontal scaling for national-scale volumes. Can be deployed cloud-managed or self-hosted within government infrastructure.

    Cloud-managed Self-hosted Auto-failover Horizontal scaling

    Object Storage

    Stamp templates, print-ready assets, audit exports, and report files are stored using industry-standard scalable object storage systems aligned with government infrastructure policies. Provider selection is determined per deployment based on data residency requirements.

    Cloud-hosted Government-approved Sovereign options No lock-in

    Deployment Models

    Flexible deployment to match government procurement and sovereignty requirements. Pure cloud, hybrid (cloud platform + on-premise HSM), or fully on-premise within national data centres. Containerised via Docker / Kubernetes for consistent environment management.

    Cloud Hybrid On-premise Kubernetes
    Security & Compliance

    Designed to government security requirements.

    TrueTax applies defence-in-depth across every layer of the stack - from transport through to key management and data sovereignty controls.

    Transport

    SSL / TLS

    All communications encrypted in transit using current industry-standard protocols. Certificate management via CA-issued certificates with automated renewal. No unencrypted channels in any deployment configuration.

    API Layer

    API Security

    Multi-layer API authentication for all operator and session access. Rate limiting and access controls configurable per environment. All API calls logged with actor identity for audit purposes.

    PKI

    CA Integration

    Platform integrates with government or third-party Certificate Authorities for stamp signing key issuance. Signing operations execute within HSMs under authority control - private key material never leaves hardware boundaries.

    Data

    Data Sovereignty

    In-country data residency options across all major cloud regions. Air-gapped and sovereign cloud deployment available. Data processing agreements structured to meet national data protection legislation and government procurement standards.

    Reliability & Continuity

    Built for continuous government operations.

    Revenue and enforcement operations cannot tolerate unplanned downtime. TrueTax is architected for high availability and tested recovery procedures - with continuity provisions that match government service-level expectations. All system data remains under the ownership and jurisdiction of the Government, with deployment aligned to national data protection and sovereignty requirements.

    99.9% Target Uptime SLA
    Daily Automated Backups
    RTO / RPO Documented & Tested
  • High Availability Multi-region active-passive or active-active configurations depending on deployment tier. Database replica sets provide automatic failover with no manual intervention required during node failure.
  • Automated Backups Daily automated snapshots of all database volumes and object storage. Point-in-time recovery available for database records. Backup retention configurable to meet government record-keeping requirements.
  • Disaster Recovery Documented disaster recovery procedures with defined RTO and RPO targets. Regular DR testing with results provided to the government authority on request. Runbooks maintained for all critical failure scenarios.
  • Offline Inspector Continuity Field enforcement officers continue operating using offline verification mode during connectivity outages. Scan records are queued locally and synchronised automatically when connectivity is restored.
  • Licensing Model

    Scalable government licensing. No per-scan fees.

    TrueTax is licensed on a platform basis - not per-transaction. Governments retain predictable cost structures as issuance and verification volumes grow.
