    Irish company operating in England - help

    An Irish company doing business in UK still needs to register in UK with companies house and HMRC. Things are different if you're selling into UK from overseas, but as a building firm you need to be physically present in the UK to do the work. The way you would previously have done this is for...

    Selling health supplements on eBay and own website

    Although unregulated as such (in comparison to other countries' supplement markets), it still counts as a food product. So storage, repackaging etc would all need to be done in a premises registered with your local council for food use.

    Sorry to drag up an old thread, but I had a similar problem with the same router and didn't find much help here, so finally found a solution online. I thought adding it to this thread might help others in future... The following is copied and pasted from the site I found my solution:

    RMDMO and Zebra GK420D troubles

    Hi, I've been trying to set up a new Zebra GK420D printer to begin printing PPI to use Royal Mail's despatch manager online system. I've adjusted the alignment settings of the printer by 10mm so the Royal Mail printout fits nicely onto the label, but that's made it skip a label each time...

    Import value adjustment for HMRC

    I had some goods delivered by DHL which the sender, very unhelpfully, declared a lower than true amount on the invoice. DHL then submitted this amount to HMRC and invoiced a much lower amount for duty and VAT than I should have been charged. I'm trying to get this rectified, and I know there is...

    Fake UK sellers (china) on eBay scam?

    I'm not here to start an argument, I was just pointing out that your method of detecting if a UK seller is fake or not, "go onto the bottom of the listing and click contact details.

    Fake UK sellers (china) on eBay scam?

    But what about companies in Hong Kong or China which really do have a UK warehouse, are VAT registered, and can deliver next day? I've bought plenty of items from such sellers, so by saying that all sellers with a Hong Kong address are part of a "Fake UK seller scam" is a gross generalisation.

    What shipping terms such as CIF and FOB mean and the pros and cons

    Due to the extortionate fees charged by Chinese agents of a few UK forwarders, quite a few suppliers I work with in China will not offer FOB prices anymore. It's the reverse of the same scam mentioned earlier, except this time after the products are paid for and ready to send under FOB terms...

    How to email daily ebay dispatch list direct to 3rd party fulfilment

    From past experiences I've found most people I know to be unreliable with completing the simplest tasks on time, even when being well paid for doing it.
