Will Shopify implement the new EU tax regime for UK e-commerce sellers?

@Bibico_Admin Hi. This is the email we received yesterday 30 June:



As of July 1st, 2021, the European Union (EU) is making changes to tax regulations for eCommerce purchases made within the EU. These changes include the elimination of minimum sales thresholds, updated value-added tax (VAT) rates, and a choice of how to remit taxes. We’ve added options to the tax settings in Shopify to help you comply with these changes.

It’s important that you take the time to understand how these changes impact your business and update your tax settings in Shopify before July 1st. You can find more information on the EU’s One Stop Shop VAT site and in our recent blog article on the topic, but we recommend consulting a tax professional to learn what is right for your business.

Tip: Based on our records, you currently ship products to the EU from countries outside of that region. When buyers in the EU purchase from your store, they will be required to pay VAT and/or duties upon delivery. You can choose to charge VAT on orders up to €150 to simplify the buying and shipping experience on those orders. To do this, you’ll need to provide us with your Import One Stop Shop VAT number which will enable you to submit a single VAT remittance for all of the EU. Update your tax settings in Shopify based on the choice that makes the most sense for your business.
