Hi
We’re a UK-based store and I’m reaching out on here on the off-chance that someone (hopefully in the UK) has some practical experience in using Shopify Markets in a live environment.
Our goal is to increase off-shore commerce by including the option to pay all taxes and duties at checkout along with shipping. Our carrier supports delivered duty paid (DDP) deliveries and I had thought that Shopify Markets would offer the solution to this. However, upon some further investigation, I’m unable to clarify from the documentation whether the tax calculation includes non-UK VAT (or sales tax) for the destination county or whether it’s solely import duty.
My understanding is that if VAT isn’t included, as an organisation we’d need to register for VAT in every country we wanted to calculate taxes for, something which isn’t very practical. (Or if we didn’t, customers would be liable to pay this on delivery which creates friction to the order).
Has anyone overcome this either with Shopify Markets or another app?
Nick
