United States
Sales-tax nexus, marketplace facilitator treatment, state registrations and filings, inventory held in U.S. fulfillment centers, USD reporting, and Canadian reporting of the activity.
Selling abroad
Expand internationally without losing the compliance thread
EcomCount keeps the Canadian accounting and reporting connected as you enter U.S., UK, or EU markets, coordinating qualified local providers where foreign registration or filing is required.
Who this is for
Build the Canadian foundation first
Cross-border support is for established Canadian sellers with an operating accounting file, or for businesses preparing to build one. It is scoped alongside Strategic Advisory and is not a standalone foreign filing service.
The expansion question
A foreign customer is only one part of the analysis
Shipping a Canadian order abroad is different from storing inventory abroad, using a local fulfillment center, registering for tax, or creating a foreign entity.
We review the commercial facts before treating a foreign tax issue as an accounting issue. That keeps marketplace reports, inventory, landed cost, currency conversion, and Canadian corporate reporting connected.
Markets we coordinate around
Different markets. Different questions
United Kingdom
UK VAT registration and filing coordination, marketplace rules, import arrangements, inventory location, and the records needed to connect VAT reporting to the Canadian books.
European Union
VAT registration, OSS/IOSS considerations, marketplace obligations, import VAT, inventory in EU warehouses, and coordination with local advisers where a fiscal representative or local filing is required.
Other markets
Initial Canadian-side review for expansion into additional jurisdictions, with local tax, customs, legal, and filing support coordinated through qualified partners where needed.
Before expansion
Start with the facts that change the answer
International compliance cannot be determined from revenue alone. The review should include channels, fulfillment, contracts, registrations, payment flows, and entity ownership.
01
Where is the customer?
02
Where is the inventory when it is sold?
03
Who is the importer of record?
04
Has the marketplace collected the tax—or only facilitated the sale?
05
Which entity is earning the revenue and paying the costs?
06
What does the Canadian corporation still need to report?
What EcomCount handles
The Canadian side stays coherent
We help organize Canadian corporate reporting, foreign-currency records, marketplace settlements, inventory location, landed cost, Canadian GST/HST treatment, and the reporting information needed for a cross-border expansion decision.
EcomCount advises on the Canadian accounting and tax consequences. Foreign tax, legal, customs, and local filing work is coordinated with qualified advisers where required; their fees and responsibilities are agreed separately.
Scope
Expansion support grounded in the actual operation
U.S., UK, and EU expansion support is available with Strategic Advisory after a review of the current books, sales channels, inventory process, and tax position.
