Supported market — no written guide yet
You can sign up from Micronesia today. The operations layer — stock that moves, approvals that refuse, evidence attached to the transaction — runs the same here as anywhere, and your organization is set up in the US Dollar with Sales Tax already configured. What we have not done is the local research: there is no Micronesia guide on this site yet, and this page tells you exactly what we do and do not know rather than implying we know more.
Two things are set from your country and you do not have to find them in a settings screen. Everything else about how you run is yours to configure, as it would be anywhere.
US Dollar (USD)
Your books, your prices and your reporting are in USD from the first transaction. Buying or selling in another currency is recorded at the rate actually applied, so a later report can tell you what happened rather than what an average implies.
Sales Tax
Nothing is charged by default, because there is nothing to charge.
The Federated States of Micronesia levies no consumption tax nationally, which is why this reads as nothing rather than a percentage — but that does not mean nothing is charged. Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei and Yap each levy their own sales tax, so your rate depends on which state you operate in, and a national figure would be the wrong shape of answer. A 3% tax on gross revenues above USD 10,000 a year applies to the business itself, separately from any of this.
Neither of these is about tax, and between them they decide more about whether this is a good fit than the rate above does. Both are stated for Micronesia specifically rather than as the general warning we used to print here.
1 hour
You are at UTC+11 and we are at UTC+3, on an 08:00–17:00 working day at both ends. A narrow shared window, and it is the whole of your live contact with us on a normal day. It is enough for a scheduled call and a handover, and it means an issue raised outside it waits. Plan your implementation sessions inside it deliberately instead of discovering the constraint in week three.
English is official here
English is an official language here, so an English-only interface is not the constraint it is in much of this list. Business here runs in English official, alongside the languages of the four states.
We are remote-first from Nairobi with no office in Micronesia and no named implementation partner here yet. The hours figure above is arithmetic rather than a service-level commitment, and it is on the page because it is the cost of buying from another continent that vendors are vaguest about.
Two countries at the same percentage are not in the same position. What matters is whether the tax you pay a supplier is money you get back or money the goods cost you, because that is what sends it to one side of your books or the other for the life of the account.
Tax paid on a purchase is NOT recoverable — it is part of what the purchase cost. That is the whole commercial difference from a value added tax: the same percentage cascades through each stage of a supply chain instead of netting off, and it belongs on the cost of the goods rather than in a receivable.
Most of what an operations system does not change at a border. None of the list below is specific to Micronesia, and none of it is conditional on us having written a guide.
These are the parts vendors are vaguest about, so they are the ones we state first — and the ones a written guide would settle for Micronesia specifically.
Everything described above as not built is a statement about what ships in the standard product today, not a limit on what AWRA OpsHub can do in Micronesia. Kenya's eTIMS integration and its maintained payroll engine exist because Kenyan clients needed them and commissioned them — neither appeared by itself. The same door is open here. If a local payroll engine, a rate with a date on it, a bank or mobile money feed, a statutory return format or a link to a system you already run is what stands between you and a decision, tell us and we will scope it as a build with a written spec, a timeline and a price before you commit to anything.
Effective-dated tax rates, so a document raised about a past period is computed against the rate that applied then rather than the rate that applies now, and a credit note that carries the tax split of the supply it reverses. Where a jurisdiction operates a sales-monitoring or fiscalisation scheme, data produced in the published format alongside the approved equipment rather than in place of it.
Bank statement feeds and local payment rails wired into the Payments Register, and a payroll period that matches your statutory pay cycle rather than the calendar month our schema assumes today. The second is a data-model change and we would quote it as one.
Income tax, superannuation or provident fund contributions computed on live employee records against your own pay cycle, with the returns produced in the layout your authority expects.
The accounting package, CRM, online store or custom database you intend to keep — connected through our API so a fact is entered once and appears everywhere it is needed.
Because it is honest about what it is. We have written 44 full market guides and Micronesia is not one of them — those took a research day each, and they name the tax authority, describe how the currency behaves against a local cost base, say which payment rails matter and who is near enough to support you. Generating that for 186 countries from a rate table would produce 186 pages that sound authoritative and are not.
So this page carries only what we can stand behind: the currency, the tax instrument, how that instrument actually works, and a clear statement of what is not ours here. Everything it does not tell you about Micronesia is something we would rather find out with you on a call than guess at in public.
If you are seriously evaluating us for Micronesia, ask us for the guide. That is not a formality — the 44 that exist were written because somebody in the market asked a question worth answering properly.
Tell us where you operate, what you hold and who keeps your books. On a good number of these calls the honest answer is a local vendor, and we would rather reach it in week one than month three.
