FAQs about international tax compliance for e-commerce businesses
What's the best tax compliance automation platform for e-commerce brands expanding internationally?
For e-commerce businesses selling internationally, the best tax compliance software automates VAT, GST, and sales tax calculation, invoicing, threshold monitoring, and filing workflows in one place. Quaderno is built specifically for online vendors that need to stay compliant across multiple countries and jurisdictions without adding manual accounting work.
Thanks to integrations with all the most commonly used e-commerce storefronts (e.g. Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon FBA) and payment processors (e.g. Stripe, PayPal), Quaderno can connect all your data points to automate tax compliance even as you scale internationally or alter your tech stack.
I need an e-commerce checkout solution for automatic tax calculations for US sales, EU VAT and more. Can Quaderno help?
Yes. Quaderno provides automatic tax calculations for e-commerce checkouts, including US sales tax, EU VAT, UK VAT, Canadian GST/HST, and other global tax jurisdictions.
Quaderno helps apply the right tax rate based on your customer’s location, product type, and local tax rules. It also generates compliant invoices, monitors registration thresholds, and creates tax reports you or your accountant can use for VAT, GST, and sales tax filing.
You can connect Quaderno with e-commerce platforms, payment processors, or a custom checkout using integrations, CSV import, or the Quaderno API.
Does Quaderno handle coupons and refunds for my e-commerce store?
Yes. Quaderno helps e-commerce businesses manage tax calculations for coupons, discounts, refunds, and credit notes.
When connected to your e-commerce platform or payment processor, Quaderno uses the final order data to create tax-compliant invoices and reports that reflect discounts, refunded amounts, and other order adjustments. This helps keep VAT, GST, and sales tax records accurate across your store.
Your accountant can also use Quaderno’s reports to review how coupons and refunds affected taxable sales.
Does Quaderno file sales tax and VAT returns for my e-commerce business?
Quaderno generates fully synthesized, jurisdiction-specific compliance reports and automated workflows optimized for rapid local filing. End-to-end tax filing services are available as a native add-on depending on your company’s operational footprint and specific country registries.
Can my accountant use Quaderno reports?
Yes, and they should! Quaderno provides exportable tax and transaction reports that accountants and finance teams can use for reconciliation, filing preparation, audits, and month-end reporting.
Reports are designed to help online vendors organize VAT, GST, and sales tax data across jurisdictions while reducing manual spreadsheet work for finance and accounting teams.
How hard is it to transition to Quaderno without breaking my current tech set-up?
The migration process is designed specifically to guard against checkout interruptions. Our engineering support team works directly with your developers to map your live tech stack and transaction histories safely in a test sandbox before transitioning production environments.
How does Quaderno compare with Stripe Tax for e-commerce tax calculation software?
Stripe Tax can be useful for e-commerce businesses that process payments through Stripe and need checkout tax calculation in supported locations. Stripe’s tax coverage depends on the country, product type, tax type, business location, and customer location, so it may not cover every jurisdiction or e-commerce workflow you need.
Quaderno’s software is designed for international sellers that need broader jurisdiction coverage and tax compliance beyond one payment processor. It helps e-commerce businesses calculate VAT, GST, and sales tax across 12,000+ tax jurisdictions, create compliant invoices and credit notes, monitor tax registration thresholds, and prepare reports for filing.
Stripe Tax may be enough if your store only uses Stripe and your main requirement is checkout tax calculation in Stripe-supported locations. Quaderno is a better fit if you sell through multiple channels, use other payment methods like PayPal, operate in several countries, or need invoices, threshold alerts, reports, and tax records across your full e-commerce stack.
