Cross-Platform Capability
Tax Compliance
Thirty-six built-in tax jurisdictions with product-type-aware rates — eBooks, Audiobooks, Printed Books, and General Goods each attract different rates in many markets, and the platform knows them all. Deep Stripe Tax integration covers the US and Canada. Tax compliance is included with every plan — not an add-on.
36 Built-In Jurisdictions
Tax resolvers for 36 countries are built directly into the checkout — no separate tax service required for most markets. Product-type awareness means the platform automatically applies the correct reduced or zero rate where eBooks and Audiobooks qualify, without any manual configuration per product.
- eBook and Audiobook rates calculated separately from Printed Books and General Goods — jurisdiction by jurisdiction
- NZ GST, AU GST, UK VAT, EU VAT (per-country rates), Canadian GST/PST/HST — all built in
- India GST, Singapore GST, South African VAT, Mexican IVA, and more
- Stripe Tax integration for US — full nexus-gated lookup at state, county, and city level
- Stripe Tax for Canada — province-level GST/HST/QST with registration-gated collection
- Tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive pricing per market — your choice per jurisdiction
- Tax amount stored per order line — full breakdown available for every transaction
All Included — Never an Add-On
Every tax resolver, every report, and every compliance safeguard is available on every subscription tier. No separate tax module, no per-transaction fee. Stop worrying about getting this wrong — the platform handles it.
Reporting & Nexus Monitoring
Collecting correctly is half the job. Reporting accurately — and knowing when you need to register — is the other half. Both are handled.
Tax Due Reports
- Tax collected per agency for any period — filter by jurisdiction, tax type, or date range
- Registered jurisdictions shown separately from jurisdictions where you've collected but haven't yet registered
- Pre-formatted output for NZ GST return, AU BAS, and UK VAT 100
- US Stripe Tax report — full state/county/city breakdown for every transaction in the period
Nexus Threshold Monitoring
- US economic nexus tracker — cumulative sales and transaction count per state, measured against each state's registration threshold
- Auto syncs from Stripe Tax for US registrations entered in Stripe that you may have forgotten to configure in SilverEarth
- Country-level thresholds for EU/UK VAT OSS, AU GST, NZ GST, and other jurisdictions with registration minimums
- Dashboard alert when you approach a threshold — register before you're legally required to collect
- Voluntary registration — mark a jurisdiction as registered to begin collecting even below threshold
Geo-Restriction Safeguards
The checkout only permits delivery to countries where you are configured as tax-compliant. A customer in a jurisdiction you haven't set up sees a clear message rather than completing a sale you can't legally process. You choose when you're ready to open each market — the platform enforces that decision automatically.
- Per-country shipping and digital delivery permissions tied directly to tax configuration
- Clear customer-facing messaging for restricted regions — not a generic error
- Admin override with full audit trail for exceptional manual sales
Digital Goods Audit Evidence
NZ GST, AU GST, EU VAT, UK VAT, and other digital services taxes require two non-contradictory pieces of evidence that the buyer is located where they claim. For every eBook, Audiobook, Webinar or other digital sale, the platform records this evidence automatically — no manual work, no risk of failing an audit.
- Buyer IP address country recorded and stored per transaction
- Card-issuer country captured from Stripe and cross-referenced against billing address country
- Evidence record exportable per transaction on request — audit-ready without manual preparation
