On the 1st July the EU introduces a new tax regime for UK e-commerce distance sellers selling into the EU. For sales under Euro 150, e-commerce sellers can opt to charge destination country VAT rates to speed up delivery. For sales above Euro 150, sales will continue to be VAT free with the customer…

For UK-based businesses, yesterday there was an update on the gov.uk website regarding the EU commerce package: EU VAT e-commerce package - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk ) . They have now updated it with this paragraph: Goods are low value where they are in consignments with an intrinsic value not exceeding £13…

I set it up and tested many countries all working, was really simple, so so far so good we also got our first German order but it is over 1.7K so we cant send them with IOSS, need to use another courier, god know who.. will try fedex, but we may fail, or DPD, already freaking our using them and ge…

we just set it all up, no issues so far, shopify all set up, working with correct rates I don’t know though how the extra duties will be calculated, ie we have thousands of HS numbers missing because suppliers not giving us any so we just got an larger order, and not sure what the government will …

@Det742021 You can look up the HS tariff codes here: https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff . It is quite easy to use and check as long as you know the key term but it also depends how complex your products are. We tend to use the generic code for the products we sell (scale model toys).

They are really complex, we sell roughly 30|K lines including raw chemicals, papers, art stuff etc, all different codes. The fastest to take out stock and try to mass update all the lines with commodity codes. Will take ages.

@Det742021 In Shopify, under Settings > Taxes… have you ticked the box “Include or exclude tax based on your customer’s country”? Maybe this is why the £135 is not being applied. Please note that we are not changed our EU Tax settings on Shopify yet, which is why we have not implemented this change…

Yes, but then ALL the VAT is removed, so none of these work No manual from Shopify, and not one of these work properly, how does anyone expect us to know

@Det742021 And have you set up the European Union as a separate shipping region - as Shopify have indicated - with each destination country VAT rate? As well as submitted your IOSS reg number to them? If this does not work, you should log on to Shopify Support chat.

We have eu set up as separate and we are using shopify on daily basis with 60K customer shipping worldwide, so YES it is obviously set up. YES we submitted IOSS but Shopify is NOT programmed properly I would really expect an updated manual from shopify, as we are paying for the service! I don’t wa…

Hi What happens if customers order over the limit, looks like Shopify is taking the VAT over this treshold as well, plus how do I know how much the customs will be, how will the customer pay for that?
