    How to sell digital products worldwide

    Thanks, yes it does seem all very complicated, I've actually been researching this all day, it's exhausting! I have been looking at Etsy, Shopify, Podia, Sellfy, Sendowl etc... The best online platform I have found so far I have found is Payhip, it looks like they deal with the VAT MOSS from...

    How to sell digital products worldwide

    Yes, I always have a lot on my plate so the thought of dealing with individual countries with their tax and VAT does not appeal to me so I would happily pay some commission to avoid this rather than give up on the idea completely.

    How to sell digital products worldwide

    Thanks Paul, yes the more I look into it the more complicated it seems and as you say I am not sure it is worth doing.

    How to sell digital products worldwide

    Thanks Thanks, that's also what I thought but it seems if you sell into Europe you have to be VAT registered which i'm not and if you sell into the USA you have to abide by each states tax laws and register for each state? Just selling in the UK would be easier but most of my market will be in...

    How to sell digital products worldwide

    Hi, does anyone have any experience of international online digital sales? I’m interested in selling e-books and digital 3d printing files of my own product designs. It sounds easy on the surface, but the more I look into it, it looks so complicated regarding tax for every different country (and...

    How do I add in a bank refund into my Tax Return

    Thanks Scalloway, I was just unsure as recently I looked into finding an accountant, so I found three accountants locally for some advice and when I mentioned this to the last one he said I could claim for these, so I just wanted to know if anyone knew about this.

    Hi, I have some expense receipts for expenses relating back to my 2011/2012 tax year that I didn't submit in my tax return.

    How do I add in a bank refund into my Tax Return

    Hi, I don't use an accountant as my business affairs are really simple, so I manage my accounts and submit my own returns which is fine except this year I complained to my bank about my monthly business account fees, they upheld my complaint and refunded me all my monthly banking account fees...
