What VAT do Shopify merchants owe when selling into the EU and UK?
Shopify merchants selling to consumers abroad usually owe VAT where the customer is. The exact rules depend on where you are based and where your stock ships from.
- EU distance sales: a merchant established in one EU country can charge home VAT on up to €10,000 a year of cross-border B2C sales. Above that, it charges each customer's local VAT, usually through the One Stop Shop.
- Imports into the EU: for consignments worth up to €150, the Import One Stop Shop lets you collect VAT at checkout and file one monthly return.
- UK sales: for consignments of £135 or less sold directly to UK customers, HMRC requires the seller to charge and account for VAT at the point of sale.
- Stock held in the UK: overseas sellers whose goods are in the UK at the point of sale must register for UK VAT, whatever the value.
