Note: This is applicable when Cleeng is your Merchant of
Record (learn more about
Merchant).
As a Merchant of Record (MoR), Cleeng simplifies tax management by handling all aspects of transaction processing, including tax calculations, tax returns filing and tax remittances. This ensures compliance with local tax regulations, reduces administrative burden and minimizes the risk of penalties since Cleeng is liable for any mistakes.
- Cleeng automatically calculates and applies the appropriate tax rate based on the user's IP address at the time of purchase. This means that you don't have to worry about manually configuring tax rates for different countries.
- In the Philippines Cleeng includes a 12% Value-Added-Tax (VAT) in the content prices. Localized offers for the Philippines reflect this tax in their gross prices, meaning the prices shown to Viewers located in the Philippines are inclusive of VAT. The payout you receive from Cleeng is made excluding the collected VAT ensuring compliance with Philippinese tax regulations without additional administrative burden on your part.
- For detailed information and assistance specific to your operations in the Philippines or any other region, it's advisable to reach out to your Account Manager at Cleeng. They can provide personalized guidance and ensure that all your tax management needs are met effectively. If you do not have an Account Manager, you can contact Cleeng's sales team for support.
Important: Remember that the tax is calculated automatically based on the users's location at checkout, not on the product’s location.
