You'd be surprised how many countries have similar regulation, some starting at the first sale, sometimes even regional. We'd have to file in 20-30 countries by now. We're waiting for any tax office to contact us directly before acting, we assume they target bigger companies first. Example
> Register for ضريبة القيمة المضافة in United Arab Emirates as soon as possible.
> Add the local tax rate in your <our vendor> tax settings.
> Do your periodic ضريبة القيمة المضافة filings in United Arab Emirates.
because we did a single sale to the UAE apparently.

It's less complex than shipping physical products but still a mix of regulations as each US state can classify SaaS differently. https://www.quaderno.io/blog/sales-taxes-for-saas-in-us https://www.quaderno.io/blog/sales-taxes-for-saas-in-us "Some states regard SaaS the same as electronically downloaded software, so they tax it. Some regard it as a service, and some states don’t tax services at all." https://www.quaderno.io/resources/sales-tax-for-saas https://www.quaderno.io/resources/sales-tax-for-saas has a table of countries. India for example has no threshold https://www.quaderno.io/blog/saas-businesses-indias-online-service-tax https://www.quaderno.io/blog/saas-businesses-indias-online-s... at the same time with B2B it's the customer's obligation to deal with the tax. We, well our accountants, do the EU required breakdown of sales by EU country for tax purposes. For non-EU countries we don't yet.
