Hi All,
I am an e commerce brand based in Australia and have received a few orders and enquiries from customers in UK, France and Spain. I want to start running facebook ads and start selling in these countries but have no idea about the following:-
1) Should I add any apps or figure out a way to include import duties and taxes at check out for those customers or let them pay on their own on arrival ? Should I just mention the same at checkout page / cart page ? I want to have happy customers. Are there any helpful apps ?
2) I am already using currency converter on my store . I dont charge taxes on products in Australia. Do I need to start charging that to sell in UK/ EU / US ? How do I do that from a single store ?
3) Will I need to be registered as a tax payer in these countries where I sell ? Like for VAT etc ? Or is that only applicable if I cross a certain sale threshold in amount ? I understand Australia has tax treaties with most countries.
It is so overwhelming to sell outside australia , and I want to remain compliant , but there is just so much potential that I dont want to miss out. Esp with the holiday season.
Please help
