Selling internationally with Shopify? Managing tax compliance across multiple countries can quickly become overwhelming. From EU VAT to US sales tax, the rules are complex—and getting them wrong can mean penalties, audits, and lost time.
Taxually's Shopify integration automates your entire tax compliance workflow, from data collection to filing returns in 100+ countries.
The Challenge: Tax Compliance for Shopify Sellers
If you're selling across borders with Shopify, you've likely faced these challenges:
Multiple Tax Jurisdictions
Every country—and in places like the US, every state—has different tax rules:
- EU VAT with varying rates (17–27%) across 27 member states
- UK VAT post-Brexit with new import rules
- US sales tax across 45+ states with different thresholds
- Canadian GST/HST/PST varying by province
Manual Data Export is Time-Consuming
Without automation, you're stuck:
- Exporting CSV files from Shopify
- Reformatting data for each tax authority
- Manually calculating tax liabilities
- Tracking refunds and adjustments
Compliance Deadlines Never Stop
Miss a filing deadline and you face:
- Late filing penalties
- Interest charges
- Potential audits
- Suspended selling privileges in some marketplaces
