Introduction
While Anrok supports tax calculation in many global jurisdictions (Countries that Anrok supports), Anrok only supports registration and filing for non-resident digital services providers in the EU, Canada, and the UK.
For other global jurisdictions, you can choose to work directly with the jurisdiction's tax authorities to complete the VAT registration and begin filing on your own (or with the guidance of a tax advisor).
Alternatively, Anrok has global registration and filing partners that can assist at discounted rates. These partners can also provide guidance on addressing your current VAT exposures within these jurisdictions, based on your primary customer base and the exposure amount. See Approach your global VAT exposure.
Below is a summary of the global registration and filing support that Anrok's partners can provide to ensure VAT compliance worldwide. If you are interested in connecting with one of Anrok's preferred partners for global registration and filing support, you can submit this form to kick off the process.

If you plan to enable VAT ID validation only (e.g., you are a B2B seller exposed in a global jurisdiction where validated B2B sales are non-taxable), you are not required to register for VAT. You can choose to begin validating VAT IDs and then register at a later date based on remaining VAT exposure. See Manually enable VAT ID validation in global jurisdictions.
