    UK company shipping from EU warehouse to UK customer

    Thanks! So it means nothing about our vat or vat paid should be written on the parcel or in the address? How would we agree who is the importer for above 135 gbp when shipped with post service, as that even possible?

    UK company shipping from EU warehouse to UK customer

    What do have to do when shipping an order to a customer in the UK from Germany? If under £135, then can we just add our (UK) VAT number to the address and account for the VAT as normally when sold in the UK? Will the customer then receive it without further customs charges? If above £135, is...

    EU Distance selling from UK

    There is no 10000eur threshold for non EU companies. You should use OSS and not IOSS when shipping from NI to the EU. You'd use IOSS if you're sending from GB to the EU.

    How to add 20% VAT to the prices on eBay for UK customers

    Please don't comment if you don't have anything to contribute. I know HMRC rules, I want to get eBay to do this automatically so I don't have to have separate listings for UK and non UK sales.

    How to add 20% VAT to the prices on eBay for UK customers

    After 1 year you came here to propose the solution which is the same workarround I had in the original question?? Of course you can make two listings. It's not very ideal as the extra work to make second listings for tens/hundreds/thousands of items. And then how to you sync the stock between...

    How to account for unknown incoming transfers

    A couple of times a year I receive transfers from "HSBC Bank PLC" with a very long reference number. The amount are normally low, a few euros. It is clear it's not a transfer from a customer. I don't want to spend too much time investigating this as the amounts are small. But how should I...

    Moving UK warehouse to EU - VAT when shipping to UK

    It's not so easy to find professional to advice on this, as most are either only UK or only Estonia etc. I think this must be such a common scenario after brexit? Must be many companies that have set up EU fulfillment after brexit. My thought is that the UK company sell to UK customers and the...

    Moving UK warehouse to EU - VAT when shipping to UK

    We have most of our customers in the EU, but also some in the UK. As it's difficult to keep stock in two fulfilment centres I'm considering to change the fulfilment from the UK to EU, probably Estonia. We would have to start a new company there and register for VAT, but would we also have to...

    Shipping invoice when sending our own goods from China to the UK

    Thanks! I see now on a commercial invoice template that it says Sender and receiver and not buyer and seller, so then it make sense to use our company for both sender and receiver. We don't use CDS. I've looked into it but the HMRC guides says we don't need to use that as the shipping company...

    Shipping invoice when sending our own goods from China to the UK

    We keep the goods in China for some time and combine shipping. We also repackage some products. We couldn't combine several invoices from sellers into one shipping invoice as far as I know.

    Shipping invoice when sending our own goods from China to the UK

    We buy goods in China and once in a while arrange to ship this goods to the UK. The courier needs an invoice for the shipment, and this is also used for postponed vat accounting on import to the UK. How can we correctly make an invoice to ourself? Should we just write our name and UK address as...

    OSS return through HMRC, Finnish tax office demands payment directly

    We did receive this email from HMRC two days ago. Not sure if this is related. But below it says the payment reference should be XI123456789 while in the records for my Q2 payment it shows NI123456789Q222. I'm sure I didn't make up this number, it must have been HMRC that asked us to make it. I...

    Could it be a currency issue, maybe different dates used for the exchange rate etc
