Most sellers find out they owe tax when it's already too late

Tracking thresholds in spreadsheets leads to missed registration deadlines, back taxes paid out of pocket, and penalties.

The Manual Spreadsheet Trap

  • Fragmented Data Revenue is split between Stripe, Shopify, and PayPal, obscuring combined sales totals per state or country.
  • Complex Local Laws State-by-state US economic nexus rules and international VAT/GST laws change constantly.
  • Reactive Panic Realizing you crossed a threshold months ago, leaving you liable for uncollected back-taxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is economic nexus?

Economic nexus, often called sales tax nexus, is a US sales tax obligation triggered by revenue or transaction volume in a state, without requiring a physical presence. Most states set the threshold at $100,000 in sales, and some also count 200 transactions. Once crossed, you must register for sales tax in that state and start collecting it from buyers there. Read our US economic nexus guide for the rules in every state.

What is the EU VAT OSS threshold?

The EU VAT One Stop Shop (OSS) threshold is €10,000 per calendar year. It applies to EU-based businesses and counts the combined total of cross-border digital services and distance sales of goods to consumers in other EU countries. Below it, you can charge your home country's VAT; once you exceed it, you must charge VAT at each customer's country rate. Businesses based outside the EU have no threshold and must collect EU VAT from the first sale. In both cases, you can use the OSS scheme to report your EU sales in a single return instead of registering in each country. Learn more in our EU VAT guide.

When do non-UK businesses need to register for UK VAT?

If your business is based outside the UK and sells digital services to UK consumers, you must register for UK VAT before your first sale. There is no minimum threshold. Quaderno tracks your UK sales from day one so you always know what you owe.

What is Quaderno Monitor?

Quaderno Monitor is sales tax and VAT threshold monitoring software for businesses that sell online across borders. It connects to your payment processors and sales channels, totals your sales by state and country, and tracks them against US economic nexus, EU OSS, VAT, and GST registration thresholds in real time. When you approach a threshold, it alerts you so you can register before you're required to collect tax. Monitor is part of the Quaderno platform, alongside Tax Engine, E-Invoicing, and Filing.

How does sales tax and VAT threshold monitoring work?

Quaderno connects to your payment processors, shopping carts, and subscription billing, such as Stripe, and totals your sales by customer location in real time. It tracks each total against US economic nexus, EU OSS, and VAT and GST registration thresholds in 150+ countries, and emails you at 80% and 100% of each limit so you can register before you have to collect tax.

Does Quaderno cover all US states for sales tax?

Yes. Quaderno monitors economic nexus thresholds across all US sales tax states, tracking both revenue-based and transaction-based rules. It consolidates sales from all your connected payment channels to give you an accurate combined total per state.
