Reseller Taxation Status Overview
Posted by Albert Diaz, Last modified by Daniel Diaz on 21 June 2023 11:39 AM
All RingLogix Platform and Wholesale Services are intended for resale use.

However, we understand that due to varying circumstances, a Reseller partner may have different needs when it comes to how they are treated for taxation purposes.

Below are the taxation options that could be applied to a Resellers account and the details of that status.

DISCLAIMER: RingLogix is NOT a taxation consultant and does offer any official advice on Reseller taxation status or related activities. This chart strictly itemizes how RingLogix can classify Resellers for taxation purposes. It is ultimately the decision and responsibility of the Reseller to obtain the proper certifications for their applicable jurisdictions and to determine on their own how, if, when, and what taxes they will apply to their customers invoices. RingLogix has no responsibility on the Resellers activities or decisions on how they choose to operate. If you need guidance on the proper way to operate we suggest you contact your compliance and reporting vendor. If you do not have a taxation vendor and would like a recommendation please contact your account manager.
