Hello fastlaners. I'm gathering info on how to handle this side of a business I'm starting and need your help.
As you may or may not know, any online business in the EU has to pay VAT tax to the corresponding European country based on where their customers bought their goods or services. To make things easier, we can join a government program that every country has and that it will help you with all this (at least in theory, whether it works or not remains to be seen, as it's rolling in starting July 2021).
However, I could not find any such thing for the United States (and honestly haven't looked into countries such as Canada, Australia or any non-English-speaking country outside the EU yet).
Does any of you know how it works (at least) for the US?
Suppose I'm selling digital goods like mp3 files to a US customer and my company is based in Italy. Do I need to have any relation with the US tax authority or not?
Thank you in advance to any of you willing to help me figure this out!
