Any resources on international billing & taxation? We have customers in several different countries and there is a lot of conflicting/confusing info on how to deal with taxes on different types of activity (i.e. saas transactions & subscriptions vs pure services). Specifically I'm looking for info on Ireland and New Zealand atm. Would love to hear from someone who also has had some experience with this from more than one angle (i.e. not just saas subscriptions, but also pure services).
Navigating international billing and taxation can be confusing, especially when you’re balancing SaaS subscriptions, recurring revenue, and pure service offerings across multiple jurisdictions like Ireland and New Zealand.
At KFN we specialize in helping growth-oriented companies like yours get clarity and stay compliant across borders. Here’s how we can assist:
International Tax Strategy & Compliance
• Country-Specific Research: We’ll map your current revenue streams and customer base against Ireland and New Zealand tax laws, including VAT/GST obligations, OSS (One-Stop Shop) registration, and remote services rules.
• B2B vs B2C Guidance: We’ll clarify when reverse-charge applies vs when you must register and collect VAT/GST — eliminating guesswork.
• Threshold Monitoring: We’ll set up tracking so you know when you cross NZ$60k (NZ) or EU digital sales thresholds, triggering new compliance requirements.
Billing & Process Optimization
• Invoice Design: Ensure your invoices include all required fields (VAT numbers, currency conversions, reverse-charge language) to stay audit-proof.
• Segmentation: Separate SaaS, implementation, and consulting revenue for clean reporting and correct tax treatment.
• Automation: Recommend and help implement tools (e.g., Stripe Tax, Avalara, or QBO Advanced) to streamline compliance and reduce manual work.
Ongoing Advisory
• Periodic Reviews: Tax rules change — we’ll review quarterly to keep you compliant.
• Cross-border Risk Assessment: Evaluate exposure to permanent establishment, withholding taxes, and employment tax issues if you have people on the ground.
• Multi-Country Expansion Planning: Help you design scalable processes as you enter additional jurisdictions.
Our approach is hands-on — we don’t just point you to regulations, we implement systems that make compliance effortless and scalable.
