What your merchants get

Turn tax from a support ticket into a product line

Tax is the number-one compliance question merchants bring to their payment provider. With GoodVat underneath, you can answer it — end to end, in your brand.

  1. 01

    Threshold monitoring

    You already see every transaction. We turn that data into live nexus and VAT/GST threshold alerts for each merchant.

  2. 02

    Calculation at checkout

    Add tax to your hosted checkout, payment links and invoicing with one API call — 140+ countries, 14,000+ US jurisdictions.

  3. 03

    Registration as a service

    Merchants tap “Register me” in your dashboard. Our accountants file the paperwork with each tax authority.

  4. 04

    Filing and remittance

    Returns prepared from your transaction data and filed on time — a recurring, high-margin add-on for your merchants.

Built for payment companies

Enterprise-grade infrastructure behind your brand

You carry the merchant relationship and the brand promise. We bring the tax content, the engine and the compliance team — invisibly.

  • Fully white-label

    Your name on the dashboard, the emails and the invoices. Embeddable components or headless APIs — your call.

  • A new revenue line

    Set your own pricing for calculation, registration and filing — and give merchants one less reason to look at another processor.

  • Checkout-grade latency

    Tax calculation runs inline with authorisation. Low-latency responses and a 99.99% uptime SLA keep conversion untouched.

  • Multi-merchant by design

    Thousands of merchants under one integration, each with their own registrations, thresholds, settings and filing calendar.

  • Content you don’t have to maintain

    Rate changes, new digital-services rules, product taxability updates — our tax research team keeps it current, every day.

  • Security and compliance

    GDPR-compliant, encrypted in transit and at rest, with the audit trails your risk and compliance teams expect.

Can we launch something like Stripe Tax under our own brand?

Yes. GoodVat is designed to sit invisibly behind your payment product. Your merchants see your dashboard, your naming and your pricing; GoodVat provides the tax engine, rates, rules and — if you want it — registrations and filing.

What does it take to become a merchant of record?

As an MoR, you become the legal seller of your merchants’ products, so you need tax registrations in every country you sell into, a way to calculate and collect tax on each sale, compliant invoicing, and filings in each jurisdiction. GoodVat provides all of that, and our accountants help set up and maintain the registrations.

How do you price white-label partnerships?

Usually per transaction for calculation, plus per-registration and per-return fees for compliance services, with volume tiers. You set your own retail pricing to your merchants. Talk to us and we’ll model it against your merchant base.

Who’s responsible if a calculation is wrong?

We stand behind our calculations, and our partnership agreements set out accuracy commitments clearly. Talk to our team about the specifics for your model.
