Questions people ask us
When do I charge VAT in other EU countries?
If your business is in the EU, once your sales to consumers in other EU countries pass EUR 10,000 a year in total, you generally charge the VAT of each customer's country. The One Stop Shop lets you report it in one return instead of registering everywhere.
Do I collect US sales tax if I am not in the US?
Possibly. Most US states require sales tax once your sales into that state pass their threshold, including for sellers abroad, and thresholds differ by state. We check which states you have crossed.
Can you reconcile Shopify, Amazon and Stripe payouts?
Yes. Matching payouts, fees and refunds to your sales is routine work AI handles well, and an accountant checks it.
What does it cost?
We quote in writing after the first call, once we know what the work involves. The call is free and there is no obligation.
