proggR Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 If I were to make a business that sells online to other countries but all shipping and purchases are done from one, would I have to pay taxes in the country the buyer is from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 It depends where you are based and what kind of taxes you are talking about. In the UK for example, we have VAT. If you are exporting goods outside of the EU, you do not add the VAT, but if you are exporting to countries within the EU, you add the VAT at the rate for the country in which the buyer is based. This information should be listed on your government or regulatory bodies website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proggR Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 What if I just used pay pal for transactions? Would it handle all of that? I've tried finding information for it for canada but had no luck so far. I may stop by a tax consultant and see if they'll entertain my question without a charge lol.
