What this domain asks
The operating process for identifying where an entity may have transaction-tax obligations, measuring applicable thresholds or establishment facts, deciding whether registration is required, and maintaining authority accounts and effective dates.
The domain should retain its own evidence, decision owner, materiality criteria, exception path, and consequence even when it shares organization identity, workflow, or technology with adjacent domains. Aggregation can support oversight; it should not erase the evidence behind different risks or operating outcomes.
Buyer questions
- Which physical, economic, establishment, inventory, employee, marketplace, and transaction signals are represented?
- How are state, province, country, and local rules versioned by effective date?
- Which sales enter each threshold and how are marketplace sales treated?
- Can reviewers trace an alert to source transactions and authority material?
- How are registrations, credentials, filing frequencies, and closure dates governed?
- What remains a qualified tax judgment rather than an automated conclusion?

Authority context
OECD VAT/GST Guidelines
The Guidelines provide internationally agreed principles for applying VAT or GST to cross-border trade, including neutrality and destination-based taxation. They do not replace domestic place-of-supply, registration, invoice, return, or recovery rules.
Wayfair
Wayfair removed the federal constitutional requirement for a seller to have physical presence before a state may require sales-tax collection. Sellers must still analyze each state's enacted thresholds, sourcing, included sales, marketplace rules, dates, and administrative guidance.
SSUTA
The Streamlined Sales Tax program coordinates specified definitions, registration, rate, sourcing, filing, and certified service-provider arrangements among participating states. Coverage and seller eligibility require direct review.
Texas remote-seller rules
Texas guidance describes safe-harbor, registration, single-local-rate, marketplace, sourcing, and filing considerations for remote sellers. The taxpayer's sales, channels, locations, products, and dates determine the actual result.
Canada digital-economy GST/HST
Canada's digital-economy measures address nonresident digital suppliers, platform operators, qualifying goods, and short-term accommodation through simplified and normal GST/HST regimes. Several tests can apply to one business.

Evidence boundary
Indirect Tax Monitor provides independent market and authority research, not entity-specific tax, accounting, legal, filing, registration, or implementation advice. Technology can apply configured rules, exchange structured documents, and preserve evidence; it does not determine a taxpayer's obligations without complete facts and qualified judgment. A provider's documented capability can identify a research candidate but cannot establish buyer-specific adequacy for this domain.
