Indirect tax calculations

The service supports all countries and regions for indirect tax calculation.

The service calculates taxes based on the tax rules and rates configured in Vertex O Series. The tax rules in O Series determine which countries and regions are available for tax calculation.

The service supports tax calculation for physical and digital goods.

Direct and marketplace transactions

The tax jurisdictions supported by the service can be divided into the following groups:

  • Two-party sales: A two-party sale involves two participants who can be liable for tax: the seller and the buyer. The service determines whether the seller or buyer is liable. You can modify some of this behavior through configuration settings.
  • Three-party sales: A three-party sale involves three participants who can be liable for tax: the seller, buyer, and marketplace. The service supports three-party sales where applicable, such as in the European Union (EU).

Considerations

Note the following considerations:

  1. The European Union (EU) includes the Canary Islands.
  2. Norwegian legislation does not permit marketplace (three-party) business-to-business (B2B) transactions for physical goods, so marketplaces are not supported.
