How Does Taxes Work on Wix?

Last updated on January 6, 2023 @ 6:05 pm

As a business owner, you’re responsible for many things – including taxes. It’s important to understand how taxes work and how they apply to your business. Here’s what you need to know about taxes on Wix.

When you create a website with Wix, you have the option to add eCommerce and sell products or services online. If you do this, you’re responsible for collecting and paying taxes on your sales. The amount of tax you pay will depend on the country or region where your customers are located.

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

In the United States, for example, there are federal, state, and local taxes that may apply to your business.

You’ll need to research the tax laws in your area and make sure you’re compliant. Depending on your business, you may also need to charge VAT (Value Added Tax) or GST (Goods and Services Tax).

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about using Wix to create a website for your business, you should be aware of how taxes work on the platform. While Wix does have a built-in tax calculator, it is important to note that the taxes calculated are based on the country of residence of the business owner. This means that if your business is located in a country with a high tax rate, you will likely have to pay more in taxes on your Wix website than you would if your business was located in a country with a lower tax rate.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the taxes calculated by Wix are only for sales tax purposes. If your business is required to pay other types of taxes, such as income tax or property tax, you will need to calculate and pay those taxes separately.

Overall, it is important to be aware of how taxes work on Wix before creating a website on the platform. Failure to do so could result in you owing more in taxes than you anticipated.

It’s important to note that Wix is not responsible for collecting or paying taxes on your behalf. This is something you’ll need to do as the business owner. However, we do provide some tools to help make tax compliance easier.

For example, our eCommerce platform lets you set up tax rates for different locations and automatically charges taxes on orders based on those rates. We also provide invoicing tools that can help you track and manage your tax obligations.

Conclusion

As a business owner using Wix, it’s important to be aware of the tax laws that apply to your business and make sure you’re compliant. Wix provides some helpful tools to make tax compliance easier, but ultimately it’s up to the business owner to ensure they’re paying the correct amount of tax.
