Registered, collected & remitted.
Sales tax is owed where your buyers are, not where you are. As the Merchant of Record, PayNow calculates VAT, GST and sales tax at checkout, collects it from the buyer, and remits it to the authorities in the markets we are registered in.
Tax handled inside the checkout.
The buyer’s country and region are detected at checkout, before payment: the same screen where they pick their currency and method.
The correct VAT, GST or sales tax for that jurisdiction is applied to the order and shown as its own line, so the buyer sees exactly what they pay.
Because PayNow is the Merchant of Record, we file and remit the collected tax to each authority we are registered with, so that paperwork is not yours.
Rates change. Rules change. Your work doesn't.
VAT, GST and sales tax rates differ by country, by product type, and they change over time. PayNow keeps the rate tables and rules current across every market we sell into. The right amount is charged on every order without you touching a setting.
