# Tax & Compliance

### Do I need to charge VAT for EU customers if I'm based in Asia?

Yes, EU VAT depends on the buyer's location, not yours. Non-compliance risks fines or lost processor access. PingBusiness calculates, collects, and files VAT for EU sales as part of its fee, and does the same for US sales tax and UK/AU GST.

### How do I handle US sales tax as a non-US seller?

US sales tax kicks in per state once you cross that state's sales threshold - a rule that trips up digital sellers faster than expected. PingBusiness calculates and files this on your behalf.

### Who handles VAT for my SaaS if I sell globally?

With processors like Stripe, VAT is entirely on you. PingBusiness handles calculation, collection, and filing, and issues tax-correct invoices and receipts automatically.

### How do I issue tax-compliant invoices for customers in different countries?

Getting the right VAT rate, registration number, and format per jurisdiction isn't sustainable to manage alone across multiple markets. PingBusiness issues tax-correct invoices and receipts for every sale automatically.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://pingbusiness.gitbook.io/pingbusiness/faq/tax-and-compliance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
