About GoodVat
GoodVat is a free, open tax encyclopedia for online sellers. Our mission is to make tax compliance simple, transparent, and accessible for everyone selling goods or services online.
The Problem
Tax laws are complex and constantly changing. Most resources are written for accountants, not business owners. Sellers are often left guessing about their obligations until they receive a penalty notice.
The Solution
We translate complex tax legislation into clear, actionable guides and tools. GoodVat provides the resources you need to understand VAT, GST, and Sales Tax without needing a degree in tax law.
Open Resource
Whether you are a small business owner on Shopify, an independent creator on Etsy, or a growing enterprise, GoodVat provides the resources you need to stay compliant. We believe that tax information should be free and accessible to help businesses grow without borders.
Why GoodVat?
Unlike expensive tax advisory services or complex software, GoodVat is built as a community-first reference resource. We focus on the "why" and "how" of tax, giving you the knowledge to make informed decisions about your business.
Vetted by regional experts
Every guide on GoodVat is reviewed by accountants and tax professionals with direct expertise in the relevant jurisdiction. Before content goes live for a region, it passes through a practitioner who works with that country's tax authority and legislation day-to-day — not just someone who read the rulebook.
This means you're not getting generic summaries. You're getting guidance shaped by people who file returns, handle audits, and advise sellers in that specific market.
