Quick Reference
| Decision | Strong | Acceptable | Weak |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jurisdiction to assess first | Highest revenue market above threshold | Market approaching threshold | Market with negligible volume |
| Threshold status signal | Revenue + transaction count both clear | Revenue clear, count borderline | Only one metric tracked |
| Marketplace facilitator reliance | Platform confirmed MF in writing | Platform docs say MF applies | Assumed MF without confirmation |
| Filing scheme choice | OSS/IOSS for EU multi-country | Individual country VAT registrations | No scheme, selling anyway |
| Product classification approach | Category confirmed with local customs code | Same category used across all regions | Default to standard rate everywhere |
| Professional support trigger | Revenue exceeds $50k in new market | Launching into regulated product category | Any cross-border expansion |
| Compliance review cadence | Quarterly review with advisor | Annual review | Ad hoc when problems appear |
