This Tax & VAT Policy explains how Flint^{n TM} ("we", "us", or "our") handles the calculation, collection, and remittance of taxes associated with purchases made through our checkout and payment services (the "Service").

As the Merchant of Record (MOR), we are responsible for determining, charging, collecting, and remitting all applicable taxes — including Value Added Tax (VAT), Goods and Services Tax (GST), and Sales Tax — on transactions processed through our platform.

This ensures that both buyers and Merchants remain compliant with local tax laws and that all taxes are paid to the appropriate authorities.

When you purchase a product or service through our checkout, Flint^{n TM} acts as the official seller and payment processor. We issue the invoice in our own name and are legally responsible for collecting and remitting any applicable tax on the transaction.

Merchants who use our platform receive payouts net of the applicable taxes and are not responsible for remitting those taxes themselves, unless otherwise stated in their Merchant Agreement.

The type of tax applied to a purchase depends on where the buyer is located and on the nature of the product or service being sold.

In most cases, we handle Value Added Tax (VAT) for transactions within the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other regions where VAT systems apply.

In countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Canada, we may be required to collect Goods and Services Tax (GST) on behalf of the relevant authorities. For buyers located in the United States, Sales Tax may apply in certain states or local jurisdictions, depending on current tax regulations and thresholds.

To determine which tax applies to each transaction, we rely on the buyer’s billing address, IP location, and other relevant information provided during checkout. This ensures that taxes are calculated and applied accurately in accordance with local laws.

Tax rates are automatically calculated at checkout using the information provided by the buyer (such as billing address and country).

If the transaction is taxable in the buyer’s jurisdiction, the applicable tax is displayed before payment is completed. The total price shown at checkout includes the base product price plus any applicable VAT, GST, or Sales Tax, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Where permitted by law, digital goods and electronically supplied services are taxed based on the buyer’s country of residence, not the seller’s.

For every transaction, Flint^{n TM} issues a valid invoice or receipt that includes the applicable tax amount and our tax identification details (e.g., VAT number, registration ID).

Buyers receive this document electronically by email or through the order confirmation page immediately after completing the purchase.

The invoice serves as the official proof of payment for tax and accounting purposes.

Certain buyers, such as registered businesses in the EU or other VAT-registered jurisdictions, may qualify for a reverse charge mechanism or tax exemption.

To claim an exemption, the buyer must provide a valid tax identification number (e.g., VAT ID) at checkout. The system automatically validates the number where possible (via VIES or similar databases) and adjusts the invoice accordingly.

If the number is invalid or not provided, the applicable VAT or GST will be charged and cannot be refunded retroactively.

Our goal is to ensure that taxes are properly assessed and remitted in every market where customers make purchases through our platform.
