New Zealand (Goods and Services Tax (GST))

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a requirement for sellers who sell into New Zealand.

You can use the is_seller_registered field to indicate if the seller is registered to pay tax in New Zealand.

Marketplace Settings

New Zealand allows for the marketplace to bear the liability for high-value goods where these goods are part of a mixed basket that is 75% low-value goods.

To facilitate this, you need to enable the liability_for_high_value_goods_in_mixed_value_consignment setting in the NZ region:

"NZ": {
                        "taxation": {
                            "physical": {
                                "is_seller_located_within_region": false,
                                "liability_for_high_value_goods_in_mixed_value_consignment": true
                            }
                        }
                    },

Seller Settings

The seller must be configured as registered in New Zealand and physical tax must be enabled for New Zealand. To configure this setting, you need to add it to your seller's settings. For example:

{
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "postal_address_line1": "Vertex Global Tax Solutions Ltd",
    "postal_address_line2": "30 Furnival Street",
    "first_name": "Horace",
    "postal_address_line3": "London, EC4A 1JQ",
    "settings": [
        {
            "effective_from": "1970-01-01",
            "value": {
                "countries": {
                    "NZ": {
                        "taxation": {
                            "physical": {
                                "is_seller_registered": true,
                                "is_physical_tax_enabled": true,
                                "seller_tax_number": "ABC12345"
                            }
                        }
                    },
    ],
    "business_name": "Test Marketplace",
    "last_name": "Snyder",
    "country": "GB"
