Setup Service — $420 / setup

Selling everywhere.
Obligations mapped calmly.

Selling across borders means different tax rules apply in different regions. That doesn't need to feel overwhelming. We look carefully at where you sell and explain — in plain terms — where you may have collection or reporting obligations, along with practical steps for staying organized.

What this delivers

A clear picture of where you stand

By the end of this engagement, you'll have a documented map of the regions you sell into, which ones carry potential collection or reporting obligations for your business, and what those obligations generally look like. Written in plain language — not in the kind of dense legal phrasing that leaves you more confused than when you started.

We also provide practical next steps: what to look into further, which thresholds to monitor, and where it would be worth speaking to a tax professional in a specific jurisdiction. We help you understand the landscape, so that any advice you seek afterward is easier to act on.

Region-by-region mapping

Each market you sell into reviewed for applicable rules and thresholds.

Plain-language explanations

Tax rules translated into language that actually makes sense for a seller.

Practical next steps

Clear guidance on what to monitor, what to look into, and where to seek specialist input.

No alarmism

We explain what applies without overstating complexity or creating unnecessary concern.

What brings sellers here

Tax across borders is genuinely confusing — and that's not your fault

The rules are different everywhere

Sales tax in the US operates differently from VAT in the EU, which is different again from GST in Australia or Canada. Each has its own thresholds, registration requirements, and reporting rhythms. Keeping track of what applies where is a real challenge for sellers growing into new markets.

Marketplaces handle some of it — but not all

Platforms like Amazon and eBay collect and remit tax in some jurisdictions automatically. That's helpful, but it can also create the impression that everything is handled — when in fact there may still be obligations that sit outside what the marketplace manages.

It's hard to know where to start

Searching for answers online often leads to dense legal documents or forum posts filled with conflicting opinions. What most sellers actually need is a calm, organized review of their specific situation — not a generic overview of every possible rule that might apply to anyone.

Our approach

We look at your situation specifically — not tax rules in the abstract

We start from your actual sales data: where your orders are going, what you're selling, and which platforms you're using. From there, we map the regions where obligations may apply and explain what those obligations generally entail for a seller in your position.

We're careful about what we say and how we say it. Tax obligations depend on many factors, and our role isn't to give you a definitive legal determination — it's to help you understand the landscape clearly enough to take informed next steps, whether that means adjusting your record-keeping, monitoring a threshold, or speaking with a specialist in a particular jurisdiction.

The output is a written document you can refer back to, share with an accountant, or use as a starting point for any further conversations about your tax position.

The process

A focused, thorough review from start to finish

This is a setup service — a defined piece of work with a clear beginning and end, rather than an ongoing monthly commitment.

01

We review your sales footprint

We look at where your orders go, which platforms you use, and what categories of products you sell. This tells us which regions need attention.

02

We research applicable rules

For each relevant region, we look at registration thresholds, collection requirements, and any marketplace facilitation rules that already cover part of your obligations.

03

We prepare your map

A written summary for each relevant region: what may apply, what's already handled by your platform, and what, if anything, needs your attention.

04

We walk you through it

We go through the document with you, answer questions, and make sure the practical next steps are clear before we close out the engagement.

Investment

A one-time setup fee

This is a complete, defined engagement — not an ongoing subscription. One fee covers the full review and documentation.

What you can expect

Clarity, not certainty — and that's the honest answer

Tax rules are complex and jurisdiction-specific. We won't tell you that you definitely do or definitely don't have an obligation somewhere — because making that determination with confidence requires a qualified tax professional in the relevant jurisdiction. What we can do is give you a well-organized picture of where the questions are worth asking.

That picture is genuinely useful. Sellers who go into conversations with tax advisors having already done this kind of mapping tend to get more targeted, practical advice — because the groundwork is already done. The document we produce is designed to travel with you into those conversations.

Typical turnaround: 5–10 business days

We aim to complete the review and deliver your document within this window, depending on the number of regions involved and the complexity of your setup.

A document you can keep and share

The written output belongs to you. It's designed to be shared with your accountant or referred back to as your business evolves.

Questions answered throughout

If something in the document raises a question, we're available to explain it. The walkthrough session at the end is specifically for this.

Our commitment

We're honest about what this is — and what it isn't

This service gives you an organized, well-researched picture of where tax obligations may arise for your business. We're not providing legal advice, and we'll say so clearly from the start. What we are providing is something genuinely useful: a calm, thorough mapping that helps you understand your position and take informed next steps with confidence.

We're clear about scope

Before we start, we explain what the review will and won't cover. No hidden assumptions.

No unnecessary alarm

We present findings calmly. Having potential obligations isn't unusual — and most situations have manageable paths forward.

No obligation before you're ready

Our first conversation is to understand your situation. You're not committed to proceeding until you're comfortable with how we'd approach it.

Getting started

Tell us where you sell

Reach out and share which platforms you sell on and which countries your orders typically go to. That's enough for us to confirm whether this service is a good fit for your situation and to give you a sense of how the review would be structured. From there, the process is straightforward.

1

Share your setup

Platforms, destination regions, product categories — whatever you can tell us.

2

We confirm scope

We let you know which regions the review would cover and how long it will take.

3

We deliver your map

A documented, plain-language review of where you stand — and what to do with that information.
