What we handle
Selling digital is easy. Taxing it isn’t.
Digital products are taxed where your customer lives — often from your very first sale. GoodVat takes all of that off your plate.
- 01
Know your obligations
Many countries tax digital sales from the first one. We tell you exactly where you need to register, and handle it.
- 02
The right tax, every sale
Norway at 25%, Japan at 10%, India at 18% — the right rate is applied automatically based on where each fan buys from.
- 03
Receipts your fans understand
Every buyer gets a clean, compliant receipt in their language and currency, sent the moment they buy.
- 04
Returns filed for you
EU, UK, Australian and other returns are filed on time, every time. One less thing between you and your next launch.
Built for creators
For one-person businesses with a worldwide audience
You’re a teacher, a writer, a designer or a musician — not a tax department. GoodVat is built to feel that way.
Every kind of digital product
Online courses, ebooks, presets, fonts, templates, music, memberships and paid newsletters — each taxed correctly.
One registration for all of Europe
The EU One-Stop Shop lets you report VAT for all 27 countries in a single quarterly return. We set it up and file it.
Memberships and payment plans

FAQ · Digital creators
Questions, answered
Every business is different. If your question isn’t answered here, ask a real person.
Do I really need to charge VAT on a $29 ebook?
Often, yes. Digital products are taxed in the customer’s country. If you’re outside the EU, EU VAT applies from your first sale to an EU consumer; inside the EU, once your cross-border sales pass €10,000 a year. Countries like Norway, Australia, Japan and India have their own rules for digital sellers too.
I sell on a course platform. Isn’t the platform handling tax?
Some platforms act as the seller and handle tax for you; many don’t. If the platform pays you the full price and lets you set the tax settings, the responsibility is probably yours. Tell us which platforms you use and we’ll tell you exactly where you stand.
What’s the EU One-Stop Shop?
It’s a single registration that lets you report and pay VAT on sales to consumers in all 27 EU countries through one quarterly return, instead of registering in each country. GoodVat registers you and files the return for you.
What if I’ve been selling for years without charging tax?
You’re far from alone, and it’s fixable. We’ll work out what you may owe and get you registered and caught up — often through voluntary disclosure, which can reduce or waive penalties.
