I just watched the skill builder video on the new Gated Digital Content feature for TNEW. The feature includes the ability to restrict access to digital content sales based on country, and they explained the reason was for tax purposes. Our organization has only ever done in person events and have simply paid our sales taxes based on local laws. So no one here is familiar with the idea of being beholden to another country for tax revenue. Does anyone else understand exactly how this is supposed to work? Is paid digital content considered like some kind of "cultural" export? How would another country know about this and what means would they use to collect? Does this work on a state and local level as well?
I tried doing a google search but it appears tax laws for digital content already very confusing and could not find any resources that would answer my question outright.
I'm working on setting up gated content too and of course we are excited about the thought of selling our concerts internationally, however concerned about potential tax implications. I am curious if anyone else in the US is working on a list of ISO codes they plan to start with? I am working on a list and would be interested in collaborating with others.
