Original Summary

I run a US-based SaaS company generating decent revenue, with a small portion of our customer base located in the EU and UK. Under current regulations, foreign digital businesses are required to collect and remit VAT from day one for these customers. However, after going through checkout flows for our competitors and larger US-based players in adjacent spaces, none of them seem to charge VAT at checkout. I find myself in a difficult position. If I start collecting VAT, it creates friction and a de facto price hike that could push customers toward non-compliant competitors. On the other hand, ignoring the requirement exposes the business to steep penalties, interest from tax authorities or serious liabilities that will inevitably surface during acquisition due diligence. I want know from actual founders who are running successful Saas platforms with international clients. Thanks.   submitted by   /u/hvs69 [link]   [comments]
