THE ECOMMERCE TAX CHALLENGE
Every seller's tax data is different. A2X sorts it all.
When tax and VAT get bundled into your payouts with no way to tell what's been collected, remitted, or owed, the data behind your tax filings is unreliable. A2X separates every transaction type, maps it to the correct accounts, and posts accurate data to your accounting software.
AUTOMATED TAX ACCOUNTING IN XERO OR QUICKBOOKS
How A2X gets tax data into your books accurately
1. See the tax inside every payout
A2X separates each payout into its components: taxed sales, non-taxed sales, exports, fees, refunds, and marketplace facilitator tax. Every transaction at the detail you need.
2. Tax mapped, your way
Choose where each transaction type goes: apply a rate, post to a liability account, or choose assisted setup and let A2X do the heavy lifting.
3. Accurate tax data in your GL
A2X's entries hit your accounting software with tax already categorized. When it's time to file your return, your numbers are already right.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How A2X fits in the sales tax and VAT workflow
No. A2X isn't a tax filing tool. It makes sure the data in your accounting software is accurate so that when you or your accountant run a VAT return, BAS, or sales tax summary, the numbers are right. Filing happens in your accounting software or via a tax app like Avalara or TaxJar.
No. A2X's assisted setup auto-maps your accounts and tax rates based on your region and sales channel. For many countries, tax mapping is fully automated. You can be up and running in minutes. If you need to fine-tune anything (like splitting zero-rated products or adding registered countries), you can adjust individual mappings at any time.
When a marketplace like Amazon or eBay collects and remits tax on your behalf, A2X separates those transactions into their own lines: tax collected (positive) and tax remitted (negative). These are mapped to a liability account and should net to zero, so they don't inflate your revenue or tax obligations.
No. The sales channel calculates the tax at the point of sale. A2X captures that data, categorizes it, and either applies the correct tax rate for your accounting software, or posts it to a liability account (depending on your set up). For VAT and GST regions, A2X structures the data so your accounting software calculates the tax correctly for reporting.
A2X supports multiple registered countries. You can configure which countries you're VAT-registered in, and A2X will split your data accordingly: sales in registered countries (by country), sales in non-registered EU countries, and non-EU exports. This gives you the detail you need for OSS reporting or country-by-country VAT returns.
Yes. A2X can differentiate between taxed and non-taxed sales. For more granular control, you can create product type groups within A2X using SKU patterns, so standard-rated and zero-rated items are categorized separately.
A2X integrates with Xero, QuickBooks Online, and Sage. For VAT and GST, A2X pushes data that populates your accounting software's tax module, so the data behind your VAT returns and BAS statements is accurate. A2X also works alongside third-party tax apps like Avalara and TaxJar for US state-level sales tax.
No. A2X provides technical tools to get tax data into your books accurately. We always recommend working with a qualified accountant or bookkeeper for tax compliance decisions. If you need one, our A2X Directory can help you find an ecommerce specialist
