"New" Shopify Tax to account for UK/EU VAT sales

Mine works fine. I also received an email yesterday about the new changes.



We’re announcing an important update regarding the tax service that your store(s) use(s) to power VAT calculations on orders from countries in the European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK).





Beginning on October 28, this service will be retired and your store will be automatically upgraded to Shopify Tax, to provide superior tax compliance across the EU and UK:

- **Smart calculations at checkout: Accurate VAT rates based on your customers’ location, product categories and shipping taxed proportionally on each order.**
- **VAT registration and threshold tracking:** Get alerts when you need to register based on new or existing liabilities.
- **VAT invoices:** Generate, store, and display compliant invoices for customer and B2B orders.

We are upgrading you to Shopify Tax in the EU and UK. Shopify Tax will remain free until December 31, 2024, no matter how much you sell. Shopify Tax will be free until you reach €100,000 in total sales globally per store, each calendar year. After that, standard rates will apply to all orders in the regions where you collect tax.

For these store(s) below, based on your EU and/or UK sales from the previous 12 months we estimate that Shopify Tax in the EU and/or UK will cost:

- Rolling Mavericks: €10 per month


If you don’t wish to try Shopify Tax for free until December 31, 2024 and would like to exclude your store(s) from the upgrade, submit your request using this form by October 27, 2024. You can also choose to downgrade later from within the admin.



If you opt out, your store(s) will use Basic Tax starting October 28. Basic Tax is free, but provides a lower level of compliance and automation. You will need to:

  • Manually keep rates up to date
  • Track your tax liabilities as you grow
  • Find a new invoicing solution


By using Shopify Tax, you are agreeing to the Shopify Tax Terms of Service.
