Trusted by global businesses
Five countries.
Five different GST regimes.
GST carries the same name in India, Australia, Canada, Singapore, and New Zealand. That's where the similarity ends. Each regime has its own registration rules, filing cadence, credit mechanics, and treatment of foreign sellers.
Same name, different rules
A quarterly BAS in Australia looks nothing like India's return structure or Canada's GST/HST plus provincial layers. Treating GST as one tax is how filings get missed and credits get lost.
Non-resident rules you trip without a presence
Most GST jurisdictions require non-resident sellers of digital services to register and collect, no local entity needed. Companies usually learn this from a customer's procurement team or a tax authority letter, not from a plan.
Input tax credits left unclaimed
GST paid on inputs is generally recoverable, but only through correct registration, documentation, and returns that actually claim it. Miss the mechanics and the credit is money left with the tax authority.
What you get
What the service includes.
GST registration in every jurisdiction
Registration in Australia, Singapore, Canada, New Zealand, India, and other GST jurisdictions. We prepare the applications, handle the correspondence, and deliver the registration.
Returns on every local cadence
Monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on the jurisdiction and your assigned frequency. Prepared from your transaction data, reviewed by you, filed by us.
Input tax credits claimed
GST paid on inputs is tracked in your transaction data and claimed in each return where you're entitled, with the documentation to support it.
Non-resident digital services compliance
The rules that require foreign sellers of software and digital services to register and collect, confirmed per country and applied correctly, so a sale into Sydney or Singapore doesn't become a surprise obligation.
Payment and remittance
Every return comes with the amount due. Remittance is handled and tracked per jurisdiction, with a confirmation for every filing period.
Fed by your billing data
Native integrations with NetSuite, Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage Intacct, plus Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, and Zuora. Transaction data flows in automatically; no period-end exports.
How it works
From first sale
to filed returns.
The same workflow whether you're registering for the first time or consolidating filings from a set of local accountants.
Step 01
Exposure review
We connect your billing and ERP data and confirm, country by country, where you're required to register: local sales, digital services, inventory, or an entity on the ground.
Step 02
Registration
We prepare and file the GST applications in each jurisdiction, arranging local representation where the country requires it.
Step 03
First return
The first return is prepared from your transaction data, input tax credits included. You review and approve, we file and remit.
Step 04
Every cadence after
Every GST deadline in every country sits on one calendar. Returns filed on the assigned frequency, payments confirmed, notices handled.
A patchwork,
or a system.

Common questions
India, Australia, Canada, Singapore, New Zealand, and the other GST jurisdictions inside Commenda's 70+ country coverage. ANZ GST is handled directly; where a jurisdiction requires local credentials or representation, we work through vetted local partners. One portal, one calendar, one team.
Often, yes. Most GST jurisdictions have rules that require non-resident sellers of digital services to register, collect, and remit even without any local presence. The trigger and threshold differ by country, so we confirm the current rule for each jurisdiction where you sell before you register anywhere.
Each jurisdiction sets its own filing frequency, and it can change with your volume. Commenda tracks the cadence you're assigned in each country and files on it: monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on local rules. Every deadline sits on one calendar, so a return in one country never hides behind a return in another.
Canada layers provincial sales tax regimes on top of federal GST/HST, and which ones apply depends on where your customers are and what you sell. We determine the registrations you actually need, register you, and file the federal and provincial returns from the same transaction data.
GST you pay on inputs is generally creditable against GST you collect, but only if you're properly registered and the returns claim it with the right documentation. Commenda tracks input tax paid in your transaction data and claims the credits you're entitled to in each return, so the money doesn't sit unclaimed.
Yes. We take over the existing registrations, collect the filing history, and move the returns onto the platform. Your current advisors hand off once, and from then on every GST filing runs through one system with one confirmation per filing period.
