How Taxes Work on Our Platform
Where tax applies, we calculate and collect it at checkout and remit it ourselves, so sellers never have to.
Overview
As a digital marketplace based in Sweden, we are the "deemed supplier" under EU VAT rules. This means we — not individual sellers — are responsible for calculating, collecting, and remitting VAT on sales made through the marketplace.
Tax is added only in the countries where we are registered to collect it. Stripe Tax applies the rate at checkout from your billing address; asset pages show an estimated tax-inclusive total for your country before you get there.
For buyers
- Listed prices are pre-tax. Asset pages show an estimate for your country; the exact tax is added at checkout from your billing address.
- Whether tax applies depends on where you are and where we are registered. If none applies, none is added.
- Your receipt shows the tax charged, ready for your own records. You never file or remit it yourself.
For sellers
- Set your price without tax. Tax is collected on top, so it never comes out of your share — on the Free plan you keep 90% of the pre-tax price after the 10% platform fee.
- As the deemed supplier, we handle VAT on marketplace asset sales: you don't register, collect or file for them.
Where Tax Is Added
| Region | Tax Type | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Sweden | Moms (VAT) | 25% |
| Other EU countries | VAT | Estimated on the asset page, confirmed at checkout |
| Everywhere else | VAT / GST / sales tax | Added only where we are registered to collect it |
All digital products on the platform are classified as Electronically Supplied Services, which determines the applicable tax rate in each jurisdiction.
How It Works Technically
- When you proceed to checkout, your location is determined (via billing address or payment method country).
- If we are registered to collect tax for your location, Stripe Tax calculates it for each item; otherwise none is added.
- Tax is added on top of the listed price — the price you see on the product page is the pre-tax price.
- After payment, the tax amount is recorded and the platform remits it to the appropriate tax authority.
- Your receipt shows a breakdown of the item price and the tax charged.
Common tax questions
- Can I see the tax before checkout?
- Yes. Asset pages show an estimated tax-inclusive total for your country. The exact tax is confirmed at checkout from your billing address.
- Can I get a VAT invoice?
- Yes. A VAT invoice is generated automatically for every purchase and emailed with your receipt, showing the net amount, the tax charged, and our VAT number. You can also download it any time from your Stripe receipt link.
- I'm a business — can I provide my VAT number?
- Yes. Enter your VAT number at checkout and we validate it with the EU VIES service. A valid EU business number outside Sweden reverse-charges the supply, so no VAT is added and you account for it on your own return.
- As a seller, do I need to charge tax separately?
- No. The platform handles all tax collection automatically. Your listed price is the pre-tax price, and tax is added on top at checkout. Your earnings are not affected by tax.
- What if no tax applies in my country?
- Then none is added at checkout. Tax is only added where we are registered to collect it, and the system handles this automatically.
- Are subscriptions taxed?
- Yes. Subscription payments (Buyer Plus, Pro, Elite, and Max) are treated the same as asset purchases — tax is calculated and added at checkout based on your location wherever it applies.
- Is tax applied to commission payments?
- Yes. Commission escrow payments are subject to the same tax rules as standard purchases. Tax is calculated on the total commission amount at the time of payment.
