Understanding Tax Complexity
Global commerce spans multiple tax regimes — GST, VAT, Sales Tax, HST, Nexus obligations, and more. Each country (and in some cases, each state or province) maintains its own tax framework, filing requirements, and thresholds.
All products sold by Artisan Furniture originate from our SMETA-audited, GMP-compliant, and B Corp-certified factory in Jaipur, India.
The following sections provide simplified overviews of the regions where we maintain active operations and fulfilment centres.
1. North America
United States of America
Artisan Furniture operates two fulfilment centres across the United States, ensuring efficient nationwide coverage. The U.S. taxation system is state-based rather than federal, meaning sales tax obligations differ from state to state. Resellers should familiarise themselves with the following key concepts: • Reseller Certificates and exemption eligibility. • Economic Nexus thresholds and registration requirements. • Destination-based vs. origin-based state sales tax rules. For detailed U.S.-specific guidance, please visit www.artisanfurniture.us.
Canada
Canada operates under a Goods and Services Tax / Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) system, with rates varying by province.
• GST (5%) is applied federally.
• HST (13%–15%) applies in provinces that have harmonised with the federal framework.
• PST may apply separately in non-HST provinces.
Artisan Furniture fulfils orders from Brampton, Ontario, and taxes are calculated using destination-based taxation, meaning the ship-to province determines the applicable rate. If a reseller is located in Ontario but the goods are delivered to British Columbia, then British Columbia’s tax rules apply, not Ontario’s.
Resellers should review provincial registration rules, place-of-supply obligations, and input tax credit eligibility. For more details, visit www.artisanfurniture.ca.
2. Europe
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom operates under a unified VAT system administered by HMRC. All domestic transactions attract a standard VAT rate of 20%, unless they fall under a reduced or zero-rated category. Registered resellers can claim input VAT credits in accordance with HMRC rules, provided they maintain proper VAT invoices and records. For further guidance, visit www.artisanfurniture.net.
European Union
Within the European Union, Artisan Furniture holds tax registrations in both Germany (Magdeburg) and Spain (Madrid), supported by fulfilment centres in each location. We operate under the OSS (One-Stop-Shop) scheme for intra-EU distance sales.
• Goods shipped and consumed within Germany are charged 19% VAT, and goods shipped and consumed within Spain are charged 21% VAT, regardless of whether the buyer holds a VAT number.
• Intra-EU shipments from either hub follow destination-based VAT: if the buyer provides a valid VAT number, the supply is zero-rated; if not, the VAT rate of the destination country applies.
For example, a reseller may be based in Spain, but if the goods are delivered to France, the invoice carries French VAT (20%). Likewise, a German-registered buyer receiving goods in Italy would be charged Italian VAT unless providing a valid VAT number for zero-rating.
This structure reflects our two operational bases and our compliance with EU place-of-supply rules. For detailed regional guidance, please visit www.artisanfurniture.eu.
3. Australasia
Australia
Australia levies a Goods and Services Tax (GST) at a flat rate of 10% on most goods and services. Businesses with an annual turnover exceeding AUD 75,000 must register for GST and issue compliant tax invoices. Artisan Furniture’s Australian operations comply fully with local GST reporting and input-credit mechanisms. More information is available at www.artisanfurniture.au.
India
India follows the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, which replaced the earlier system of multiple indirect taxes. The standard GST rate applicable to most goods, including furniture, is 18%. Artisan Furniture’s manufacturing operations in Jaipur, Rajasthan, are fully GST-registered. Export shipments are treated as zero-rated supplies under IGST, complying with Indian customs and export regulations. For India-specific information, visit www.artisanfurniture.in.
