Taxation & Compliance

How Bag handles global tax compliance as Merchant of Record.

Taxation & Compliance

Bag acts as the Merchant of Record (MoR), meaning we assume the liability for tax calculation, collection, and remittance globally. You are not required to integrate third-party tax engines like Stripe Tax or TaxJar.


Global Tax Engine

  • Automatic Calculation: Taxes are calculated in real-time based on the customer's country and state across 100+ countries.
  • Compliance-as-a-Service: We handle the filing and legal regulations for each geography. You focus on your code; we handle the tax man.
  • Zero Integration Overhead: No extra configuration is needed to "turn on" new regions. Our SDK detects user location and applies the correct jurisdictional rules automatically.

Note: Because Bag is the MoR, the tax responsibility sits with us, saving your startup from the high costs of international tax consultants.
