Our Tax Strategy

At Cortessa Home, we are committed to maintaining a responsible, transparent, and compliant approach to taxation. Our tax strategy supports the long-term sustainability of our business while ensuring we meet all legal and regulatory obligations.

1. Our Approach to Tax

We view tax as an integral part of doing business responsibly. Our approach is built on:

  • Full compliance with all applicable tax laws and regulations
  • Accurate and timely filing of tax returns
  • Transparency in our financial and tax reporting
  • Ethical decision-making in all tax-related matters

We aim to ensure that all taxes are paid in accordance with the laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate.

2. Tax Compliance

We are committed to maintaining high standards of tax compliance across all aspects of our business.

This includes:

  • Meeting all filing, reporting, and payment deadlines
  • Maintaining accurate financial records
  • Monitoring changes in tax legislation
  • Working with qualified tax professionals where necessary

For eCommerce businesses, tax obligations can vary depending on where customers are located and where goods are shipped, making compliance a critical operational priority.

3. Responsible Tax Planning

We adopt a prudent and responsible approach to tax planning. While we aim to operate efficiently, we do not engage in aggressive tax avoidance or artificial tax structures.

Our principles include:

  • Aligning tax outcomes with genuine commercial activity
  • Avoiding the use of tax havens without legitimate business purpose
  • Ensuring all transactions are conducted at fair market value
  • Making decisions that support long-term business growth

Strategic tax planning helps businesses reduce risk, improve financial clarity, and support sustainable growth when handled correctly.

4. Governance and Accountability

Our tax strategy is overseen as part of our overall business governance.

We ensure:

  • Internal accountability for tax-related decisions
  • Regular review of financial and tax processes
  • Appropriate controls to manage tax risks
  • Engagement with external advisors when required

Strong governance ensures that tax remains aligned with our ethical standards and business objectives.

5. Managing Tax Risk

We actively identify and manage tax risks by:

  • Keeping up to date with regulatory changes
  • Implementing reliable accounting and reporting systems
  • Ensuring consistency across our operations
  • Seeking professional guidance when needed

Effective tax management reduces uncertainty and helps avoid penalties, compliance issues, and operational disruptions.

6. International Considerations

As an online business, we recognize that selling across regions may create tax obligations in multiple jurisdictions.

We consider:

  • Sales tax, VAT, or GST requirements based on customer location
  • Cross-border regulations and reporting requirements
  • Thresholds that trigger tax registration in different regions

Managing these obligations carefully helps support smooth international growth and reduces compliance risks.

7. Continuous Improvement

We regularly review and refine our tax practices to ensure they remain aligned with evolving regulations and best practices.

Our goal is to maintain a tax strategy that is:

  • Compliant
  • Transparent
  • Ethical
  • Sustainable
