Software companies lose up to 5% of their gross revenue every month to Merchant of Record commissions simply to avoid the legal nightmare of cross-border tax compliance.

Juris transforms standard payment gateways like Stripe and Adyen into fully automated tax compliance engines without forcing founders to relinquish control or revenue. By orchestrating real-time address validation, dynamic VAT and sales tax calculation, automated local invoicing, and hands-off regional tax filing payloads, Juris keeps businesses compliant across 140+ countries. SaaS companies keep their direct payment processing rates while eliminating dozens of hours of manual accounting friction each quarter.

Juris is building the universal infrastructure layer that makes direct merchant accounts globally compliant by default.

Problem
  • When I sell SaaS globally using direct Stripe, I want to collect and remit cross-border taxes accurately, but manual tax calculation and multi-jurisdiction filing wastes 20+ hours monthly and causes $10k+ in legal risks.
  • Why Now: Global tax authorities are cracking down on cross-border digital goods with strict economic nexus laws in 50+ US states and mandatory EU OSS digital invoicing rules in 2026.
  • When I scale international payments, I want to keep processing fees low, but Merchant of Record providers take a massive 5% to 8% cut of gross revenue on every transaction.
  • When I file quarterly international tax returns, I want unified transaction reporting, but cross-border currency conversions and fragmented regional invoice formats cost $5k per year in specialized CPA fees.
  • Existing Alternatives: Paying 5%+ fees to Merchants of Record like Paddle, or using complex enterprise tax tools like Avalara that require $20k+ upfront integration.
Solution
  • High-Level Concept: Juris is an automated tax compliance middleware for direct Stripe and Adyen accounts.
  • Real-time checkout tax API that dynamically calculates local VAT, GST, and US Sales Tax in under 30ms without adding conversion friction.

  • One-click quarterly tax filing generation with pre-formatted OSS, GST, and state filing payloads ready for direct portal upload.

  • Targeting bootstrapped B2B SaaS founders and finance leads with $10k to $100k monthly recurring revenue on Stripe.

  • Programmatic outbound SEO landing pages targeting exact query strings like 'Stripe EU VAT compliance without Paddle'.
Pricing

  • Scale at $199/month for $250k volume plus 0.2% overage.
  • One Metric That Matters: Total Tax-Compliant Gross Volume Processed.
  • Market Sizing: 150k global SaaS companies using Stripe x $1.2k annual contract value = $180M SAM; target 2% Year 1 SOM = $3.6M ARR.
