Does Cohart provide support with taxes?
Artists are responsible for their individual income tax obligations in their respective countries. Since tax laws vary, we cannot provide personal tax advice. Since sales are processed directly through Cohart's platform, you don’t need to create an additional invoice for the buyer.
However, if you do need any additional documentation for your own tax purposes or for your own records, you’re welcome to generate an invoice addressed to Cohart if that helps with any VAT reporting on your side.
