Financing, tax rates, and accounting
i live in the Netherlands and want to drop ship within the us. i don't really understand if i need a Dutch vat number or not? the products are shipped from us or Canada and only ship within us. can somebody make this clear for me? i can't seem to find a clear answer online.
Hi, @jonesnietbarken.
Thank you for reaching out! What part of the sign up process is asking your for a VAT number? Is it Shopify Payments?

yes
Thanks for confirming. You can sell virtually anywhere in the world, but you'll be setting up your Shopify Payments account based on where you are operating the business. You can find more details about the requirements for Shopify Payments and details on tax reporting here: Shopify Payments for the Netherlands. To find out what you might need to charge in terms of taxes, I recommend consulting a local tax professional.
