The merchant is responsible for tax compliance when using Shopify.
Shopify provides tools such as Shopify Tax, tax calculations, tax reports, and tax settings to help merchants manage taxes, but Shopify does not assume responsibility for determining, collecting, reporting, or remitting taxes on the merchant’s behalf (unless a specific tax service or marketplace obligation applies in a particular jurisdiction).
The merchant is responsible for:
Determining where they have tax obligations (tax nexus).
Registering with the appropriate tax authorities.
Charging the correct taxes where required.
Filing tax returns.
Remitting collected taxes to the relevant government authorities.
In short, Shopify helps calculate and manage taxes, but the merchant remains responsible for complying with applicable tax laws and regulations.
