How sales tax works on Shopify
- What Shopify does
- Shopify calculates and collects sales tax at checkout, and Shopify Tax can work out rates for US states and many countries once you’ve told it where you’re registered.
- Where it stops
- Shopify won’t tell you when you’ve crossed a threshold somewhere new, and for most merchants it doesn’t register you or file and pay your returns. That part stays with you.
- What GoodVat adds
- GoodVat sits alongside Shopify: it reads your orders, tracks nexus and VAT thresholds across every channel you sell on, works out what you owe, and our local partners register you and file your returns.

Do I still need GoodVat if Shopify handles tax?
Shopify calculates and collects sales tax at checkout, and Shopify Tax can work out rates for US states and many countries once you’ve told it where you’re registered. Shopify won’t tell you when you’ve crossed a threshold somewhere new, and for most merchants it doesn’t register you or file and pay your returns. That part stays with you. GoodVat fills that gap: it tracks every threshold across all the places you sell, works out what you owe, and our local partners register you and file your returns.
What does GoodVat use from Shopify?

Can GoodVat register my business and file my returns?
Yes. Registration and filing are done by our vetted local tax partners in each region, using the data already in GoodVat. Because the work differs by country, it’s priced per country and quoted upfront. If you’d rather file yourself, every plan includes ready-to-file returns.
Which countries does GoodVat cover?
