We’ll Collect and Remit Taxes
on Your Behalf

FastSpring acts as the merchant of record for your transactions, which means we’re responsible for handling the sales tax. You control the checkout experience and branding directly on your website. We process the payment, collect appropriate taxes, then remit those taxes so you stay compliant.

Instantly Become Tax Compliant

Tax rules are always changing. Do you know how Wayfair vs. South Dakota changed the rules in the U.S.? Are you current with all the different VAT regulations in the EU? Have you kept up with digital services tax updates in India? You can try to keep up with global tax changes on your own (or even with the help of a tax professional). 
Or you can trust FastSpring to keep you tax compliant worldwide — even as the rules change.
