Technology & Digital Tax

Modern finance runs on data — your tax and accounting must keep up.
From crypto/NFT tax and e-commerce GST/HST/QST to SaaS revenue recognition (IFRS 15/ASC 606) and SR&ED tax credits, Mackisen’s digital tax team makes compliance simple and growth-ready. We integrate your Shopify/Amazon/Stripe/PayPal flows, reconcile wallets and exchanges, and build audit-ready documentation that protects profits and unlocks refunds.

What We Do (End-to-End Digital Tax & Compliance)

1) Crypto & Digital Asset Tax (Canada)
Trading, mining, staking, DeFi, NFTs — we classify capital vs. business income, reconcile wallets & exchanges, compute ACB (adjusted cost base), and prepare audit-ready gains/loss schedules. We handle airdrops, forks, gas fees, cross-chain moves, and foreign exchange reporting (e.g., T1135).
Best for: Investors, traders, miners/validators, NFT creators, Web3 startups.

2) E-Commerce GST/HST/QST & U.S. Sales Tax Nexus
We register and file GST/HST/QST, map tax codes, and implement marketplace rules (Amazon, Shopify, Etsy). For U.S. states, we assess economic nexus and set compliant collection/remittance flows. We also fix the past with voluntary disclosure and back-filings.
Best for: Shopify/Amazon sellers, DTC brands, marketplaces, digital services.

3) SaaS Revenue Recognition (IFRS 15 / ASC 606)
Policies for subscriptions, upgrades/downgrades, refunds/credits, multi-element arrangements, and deferred revenue. We automate contract assets/liabilities and commission amortization for investor-ready statements.
Best for: SaaS, subscription media, apps/platforms, B2B software.

4) SR&ED Tax Credits (Canada & Quebec)
Eligibility mapping, technical narratives, T661 preparation, time-tracking methods, and audit defense to maximize refundable SR&ED credits. We integrate SR&ED with your FP&A so claims match reality.
Best for: Software, AI/ML, biotech, hardware, R&D-heavy teams.

5) Digital Platform & App Store Compliance
App-store fee/tax mapping, platform withholding, micro-transaction accounting, and cross-border VAT/GST readiness. We package W-8/W-9/1042-S where relevant and align payouts with revenue policies.
Best for: Mobile apps, gaming, streaming, marketplaces, creator platforms.

6) Systems Integration & Real-Time Reporting
We connect Shopify/Amazon/Stripe/PayPal to QuickBooks/Xero/ERP, automate sales tax coding, and build dashboards (profitability, CAC/LTV, inventory, cash runway). Get real-time data you can trust.
Best for: Founders and finance teams who want accuracy at scale.
