SoundSync handles managed-sale taxes
SoundSync Solutions is the Merchant of Record for purchases completed through SoundSync-managed checkout. SoundSync handles payment processing and applicable sales-tax/VAT calculation, collection, registration, filing, and remittance for those transactions.
The developer does not separately remit the sales tax or VAT collected on a SoundSync-managed transaction. This does not cover the developer's income tax, business registration, or transactions completed by another legal seller.
From checkout to tax records
Checkout uses the customer's location to calculate applicable tax and present the amount before payment. Tax is separate from the pre-tax product revenue used to calculate the 10% SoundSync fee.
SoundSync maintains transaction and liability records to support its registration, filing, and remittance responsibilities. Tax calculation and accounting records are not, by themselves, a tax-registration certificate or proof of a submitted return.

Exemptions, invoices, and business purchases
For a tax exemption, VAT reverse-charge question, or special invoice requirement, contact support before purchasing. Do not assume a rate calculator establishes eligibility for an exemption or that every business-tax scenario is supported.
Refunded taxes
Refund requests must account for the tax associated with the refunded purchase as well as product access and the developer adjustment. Refund tax-record handling is part of the refund work being completed; support can confirm the actual correction for a particular transaction.
