I'm from the UK and plan on selling digital products (E-Books prerecorded courses) to a US customer base. I understand seperate states have their own seperate tax laws how would you set this up on your Shopify store? thank you

Hi @Elsie2,

Nick here from Shopify. Great question, taxes can be tough to figure out on the best of days! 

The first thing I suggest is to speak to a local accountant or tax expert. We can't give you tax advice on what to tax or what tax laws you need to follow, but I can guide you on how to set up your taxes within the Shopify admin and how it would handle things. 

If you are new to Shopify there is a great guide for how to set up your taxes for the UK which you can see here. 

I hope this helps and don't hesitate if you have any other questions! 

Thanks, Nick
