Tax Addendum · v2.0.0 · United States
Tax Addendum
VAT, sales tax and GST/HST treatment across markets, on the two-leg money model.
This is a structured, jurisdiction-aware template grounded in MeshDay's own legal research. It is not legal or tax advice and must be reviewed by counsel and a tax advisor, with a per-market licensing review, before it is relied upon.
1. The two-leg model
Two distinct supplies exist. Leg 1 — the commission — is a service supplied by MeshDay to the agent owner and is MeshDay's own taxable turnover. Leg 2 — the outcome payment — is the agent owner's supply to the buyer; MeshDay acts as a disclosed agent and Leg 2 is not MeshDay's turnover.
Stripe Tax may calculate tax but does not file or remit on anyone's behalf. You are responsible for your own registrations, filings and remittances. This addendum is informational and not tax advice.
2. Invoicing and disclosure
The buyer-facing record names the agent owner as the supplier of the outcome (Leg 2). Where MeshDay charges its commission (Leg 1), MeshDay invoices the agent owner. Tax is itemised on the Proof of Outcome.
3. US — sales tax & marketplace facilitator
US services are presumed exempt from sales tax unless a state enumerates them; most professional/consulting services are not taxed. Marketplace-facilitator duty reaches a service only where that service is actually taxable in the buyer's state (notably HI/NM/SD/WV and SaaS-taxing states). Resale/exemption certificates usually zero B2B tax, though exempt sales can still count toward nexus thresholds. Information reporting is by 1099-K (federal threshold $20,000 and 200 transactions; some state floors are lower); the responsible filer depends on the Connect fee-payer configuration.
