How do I set up VAT and shipping for my UK-based business?

[Eddy8]

Hello to all,

Thank you to everyone who will help me!
Currently I have opened my company LTD in England and a business account. Now it's time to set-up the taxes.

I would like to know if I have to apply for my VAT number (even if I have not exceeded 85000£)? What are the first settings for selling in the UK and EU, America & Canada.

I would like help with shipping as well.

I am interested in any information.
If you have a tax expert in London who can give me advice I am open too.

Thank you
