What is Tax? 

In the European Union (EU), the United Kingdom (UK) and Australia (AU), and in some other countries VAT is a consumption tax on the value added to goods and services. It applies to goods and services bought and sold for use or consumption. 

When do I need to register for VAT? 

There are several scenarios where a company is required to register for VAT purposes in a country. The most common, listed below: 

• Importing goods into the country for sale or distribution. 
• Domestic sales 
• Selling goods to individuals over the internet (distance sales) 
• Providing electronic services or downloads to consumers 
• Storing goods in a warehouse, as consignment stock or in a fulfilment centre 
• Events in the country 
• Land related services…. 

 

Shipping to other countries; 

If you ship to other countries where you are TAX registered, you must also add your VAT number to that country on your shipping setup page. 

If you are VAT registered to ship in other countries, then you must add the VAT number for each country you are registered to ship to. 
Or, if you use the One stop shop (OSS) in Europe, you have to add this VAT number. 

If you ship to any country and you are not VAT registered in that country you should check to see if you have an obligation to register in the country, before selling. 

If you have completed the above actions by updating your account, you can contact our partner VAT service and take the necessary steps with them.
