One of the key benefits of selling through Paddle is that we take the entire burden of managing VAT and sales tax away from you. We can do this because we act as a Merchant of Record (MoR).
This means, from a legal point of view, that Paddle acts as a reseller of your product, and is, therefore, the “seller on record”. This way, Paddle will be responsible for the collection and payment of VAT and tax instead of you.
