CHALLENGES

Know when your customers are taxable and when not

Improve your margins

By validating your business customers' Tax IDs, you are ensuring that you are dealing with tax registered business customers (B2B) and know when not to charge indirect taxes on your cross-border transactions. This leads both to cost-savings and gross margin increase vs approaching every transaction as taxable (B2C) and charging unnecessary taxes like VAT and GST that you have to remit to the tax authorities once you charge it.

B2B complexities

Any business that sells to business customers cross-border, will need to collect their Tax IDs to determine if the transaction is taxable and for invoicing purposes.

Not charging for VAT or GST

If tax IDs are not valid for various reasons, or have expired, merchants will not be able to properly invoice these customers and will wrongfully not charge sales tax, VAT or GST.

Merchants are held liable for taxes

Tax authorities across the world hold merchants liable for under-declared and unpaid taxes, along with late interest fees and penalties.

Automated solution for your online business

Tax rate determination
