Merchant Tax Responsibility Guidelines

Essential guidelines for maintaining legal standing with revenue authorities in your home jurisdiction.

Operating a store on ePaisay generates taxable business revenue that must be declared in accordance with your local tax laws.

Core Architecture & Principles

  • Income Reporting: Merchants are solely responsible for declaring net business income on annual corporate tax filings.
  • Customs Duties & Tariffs: Clear declaration of Incoterms (DAP vs DDP) to avoid unexpected customs tariffs for buyers.
  • 1099-K / DAC7 Compliance: ePaisay submits statutory annual vendor earnings reports to relevant tax authorities where mandated.
