Tax compliance

Tax compliance is the connection of a tax-calculation engine to checkout: for international markets — TaxJar, Avalara and the like (sales tax in the US, VAT in the EU), for Russia — correct VAT calculation and integration with an online cash register under the 54-FZ fiscal-receipt law (the Russian regulation requiring online cash registers and electronic receipts) through your fiscal data operator (OFD). TaxJar, Avalara and similar engines are for international markets — they do not cover the Russian scenario, which uses its own VAT and 54-FZ path. The engine determines the right rate by region and product type, adds the tax to the order and collects data for reporting. Importantly and honestly, and this is the main point: we are technical integrators, not tax advisors. The engine calculates the rate, but whether you are obliged to collect tax in a given region at all (this is called nexus, tax presence), where to register, and how and when to file and pay — that is decided by your accountant or tax lawyer, not us and not a calculator. We set up the calculation according to the rules and registrations that you confirm. Rates and rules change: the engine providers update them, but checking that they are correct for your case is your accountant’s job. And it is important to understand: automatic calculation only works correctly with the right registrations and rules. If a jurisdiction is set incorrectly, the engine will calculate it wrong, and the tax violation still stays on your side — automation does not shield you from errors in the input data. Russia and abroad are very different stories: in Russia it is VAT and fiscal receipts under 54-FZ, abroad it is per-state sales tax or VAT and regimes such as the EU One-Stop-Shop (OSS) VAT scheme; do not mix one up with the other — we connect exactly your scenario. This service does not replace your accountant or the filing of returns — it is a helper for calculation and data collection. If you have a small business in one region with simple rules, a paid engine may be excessive — sometimes a manual rate is enough, and we will honestly say so. Picture this: a buyer from another state or country adds a product — and the right tax is calculated and shown automatically, while data is collected for the report that your accountant files. The base price starts from 50,000 ₽; it depends on the engine, the number of jurisdictions and the complexity of the integration; tax registration and filing you handle separately.

• Tax differs across regions and countries — calculating by hand is slow and easy to get wrong.
• You are not sure which rate to show a buyer from another region.
• Data for tax reporting is collected by hand, with a risk of errors.
• You are afraid of breaking the rules but do not know where to start.

• Connecting a tax-calculation engine (TaxJar / Avalara / similar) or VAT calculation
• For Russia — integration with an online cash register under 54-FZ via your fiscal data operator
• Automatic rate calculation by region and product type
• Adding the tax to the order and showing it to the buyer
• Collecting data for tax reporting (which your accountant files)
• Setup according to the registrations and rules you confirm
• An honest assessment of whether you need a paid engine
• Documentation and (by agreement) support

• Tax is calculated automatically by region — fewer manual errors
• The buyer sees the correct amount with tax
• Reporting data is collected in one place
• It is clear where the tech ends and the accountant’s work begins

• We clarify with you (and your accountant) the registrations, jurisdictions and rules
• We connect the engine or cash register, set up calculation and data collection
• We test across different regions, launch and support the start

• Will you take on the taxes and filing?

  No. We are technical integrators: we connect an engine that calculates the rate and collects data. Whether you must collect tax in a region, where to register and how to file returns — that is decided by your accountant or tax lawyer. We set up the calculation according to the rules you confirm, but responsibility for registration and payment stays with you. And note: if the registrations are set incorrectly, the engine will calculate it wrong — automation does not protect you from errors in the input data.

• Does it suit Russia and abroad?

  Yes, but these are different scenarios. In Russia — VAT calculation and fiscal receipts under 54-FZ via an online cash register and your fiscal data operator (OFD). Abroad — per-state sales tax in the US or VAT in the EU (with schemes such as OSS) using an engine like TaxJar or Avalara, which do not apply to the Russian case. We will clarify which case is yours and connect exactly that, without mixing them.

• Do we really need a paid engine?

  Not always. If the business is in one region with simple, rarely changing rules, sometimes a manual rate is enough and a paid engine would be excessive. If there are many regions and rules, it saves time and reduces errors. We will honestly assess your case and will not push anything unnecessary.
