As a Host running a paid community or course on your Mighty Network, you’re responsible for managing any taxes related to your business. This may include taxes where you’re based as well as where your members are purchasing from. To make tax management easier, Mighty integrates with Quaderno, a third-party tax collection service that connects directly to your Stripe account. Once connected, Quaderno automatically calculates, collects, and reports taxes based on your business needs—helping you stay compliant and save time. Note: Purchases made on iOS are processed through Apple, which handles all associated taxes directly.

​
What You Can Do with Quaderno

With Quaderno connected to your Mighty Network, you can:
  • Automatically calculate and collect taxes based on your configured tax jurisdictions
  • Display applicable taxes in the purchase flow on web
  • Collect billing addresses from members for accurate tax calculation
  • Choose whether to show taxes separately or include them in your listed prices
  • Exempt specific purchases, such as business-to-business (B2B) EU VAT transactions
  • Access Quaderno’s reporting and notification tools
  • Automatically deposit tax amounts into your Stripe account
Before collecting tax in any jurisdiction, your business must be registered with the appropriate tax authority. Once registered, you can configure those jurisdictions in Quaderno to calculate and report taxes accurately. Learn more on how to manage your tax jurisdictions on Quaderno.
