The good news is that at Tax Desk, we help online sellers simplify regulatory compliance so you can focus on what really matters: your products, sales and customers.
Why are VAT and Sales Tax so important?
Let’s take just one example. You’ve built a successful online shop and have loyal customers and strong sales in Europe, then you expand into the US.
However, although you’re registered in Europe, this wouldn’t cover you for US sales tax; and each US State has their own rules. So if you miss a registration or filing requirement, then you will incur a fine or a penalty.
No-one wants that – so having a clear understanding of your tax obligations is crucial. That’s why Shopify sellers use Tax Desk to register for VAT and US sales tax. In just a few clicks we help make it simple.
Does Shopify help with VAT obligations?
You are responsible for all applicable taxes that arise from your subscription. While Shopify helps to use correct VAT rates, sellers are still responsible for:
- Registering for VAT
- Registering for sales tax in applicablejurisdictions.Why not check your US obligations with our Nexus Checker.
- Filing returns and remitting payments to tax authorities.
- Managing exemptions and ensuring compliance with local tax laws.
It’s important to understand that Shopify only gives support on selling. You may still need to register for tax purposes, manage filings and address specific tax-related requirements.
