Introduction.
Cross-border e-commerce (E-commerce) has been expanding worldwide with Amazon, eBay, Rakuten, Shopify, WooCommerce, and Corona Vortex, and is now the focus of attention by all companies. Cross-border e-commerce has been introduced with the positive aspects of being able to start selling within minutes of creating a site, and new sales opportunities from markets around the world. On the other hand, local taxes and various other costs are not shared much: local taxes such as VAT are levied and collected by the seller on the local buyer, but even in the case of cross-border e-commerce, there are cases of taxation, collection, and reporting.
Not all tax accountants, lawyers, and other domestic professionals have knowledge of overseas tax and legal affairs.
